Okay, first hello, this is my first Day in Test, my first Post in this Forum and my first time RP-ing in a space enviroment.
But there are some questions in my mind, which would love to be answered...
Time, let's talk about it.
When we talk about time on earth, we use words as Morning; evening; afternoon...
well in general we describe, our position on the planet refering to the sun.
But when we're in space, can we still call a specific time morning?
And if yes, how?
Do you refer to your hometown, or to the capital City of the closest Planet, and what if this planet has multiple suns?
like: "well in my hometown the sun would rise right now...."
As a spaceman calling a specific time Morning seems wired to me. Esp, if you don't live on a planet or on a planet without a stable rotation (like mars for example)
Imagine you live on a spaceship and you try to meet an other crew member in the morning, how would both of you know which morning the other is refering to? and why would you refer to a morning in the first way?
I like the aproach from startrek, where they refer to a thing called "Sternzeit"(sry...german guy here... but i think in english it's "star-time")
What do you think on this topic?
