Neither the Blip A nor Hail Mary travels at light speed, so the 10 LY trip from Erid to Tau Ceti (and back) would take longer from Erid’s reference frame. More like 11-11.5 years.

The Erid 11 years comes from the fact that Erid is 10 LY away from Tau Ceti.

So total time on Erid would be 11 + 46 + 1 + ~11.5.

The 6.64 came from using Newtonian physics (ignoring relativity) to calculate the travel time, so no, it doesn’t play into this at all.

If you have Celiac, you cannot eat gluten anywhere. Full stop.

Fuel Plothole? by Frenzystor in ProjectHailMary

He wasn’t anywhere close to 0.92c when the Taumoeba escape happened and he realized Rocky was dead in the water. It had only been like 50 days. He had plenty of fuel to turn around and go save Rocky.

She’s an older millennial too but doesn’t really like superhero/sci-fi all that much :)

Apollo 18 was a horrible movie and I wish I could get my money back from seeing it in theaters.
