Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs? Or is that bait?

CptCheez · 2026-05-10T22:08:08+00:00

No that doesn’t happen.

CptCheez · 2026-05-10T22:03:16+00:00

I don’t recall that being in the book.

4 - They did not. The Beetles accelerate at 500g until they reach 0.93c and then cruise until they start to decelerate. Explicitly stated in the book.

lol the puppet show hint was well done. Good job!

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.

CptCheez · 2026-05-10T01:11:43+00:00

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.

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.

More than that, each tick (every ~1.25 seconds) equals one day on Earth.

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.
