Your rendezvous training instructions mix up the terms "relative speed" and "relativistic speed". Overhead, without any fuss, the stars are going out.
<Eddi|zuHause>
the stars aren't going out, just at reltivistic speed they're shifting out of the visible light :p
<Eddi|zuHause>
(although one could imagine there would be other ones coming into view)

It turns out that due to time dilation, you have aged past the visible portion of the universe. All the stars are moving away from you at least at the speed of light.

You conduct a study of the environmental impact of hydrogen hydroxide and hydrohydroxic acid in your rockets' exhaust. Through the fire and through the flames, you carry on.

too bad about the impact on environment lol
<darsie>
hydrohydroxic acid can seed clouds, changing the weather/climate.

last night I dreamt that Scott Manley was shooting a machine gun at my carpet for some reason
<Mat2ch>
Is it hot right now, where you are?
<sandbox>
not particularly
<Mat2ch>
Then that dream has another reason. Feeling stressed?
<Mat2ch>
Maybe fearing that Scott Manley shoots your carpet?
<SporkWitch>
are these 1920's dollars? because that sounds like crap compensation
<Mat2ch>
raptop: where do you see payment?
<packbart>
must relocate to Tokyo
<raptop>
Mat2ch: in the linked PDF (4.5 to 5.2 million JPY)

"An honours degree or equivalent in astronomy or a closely related field;"
<Mat2ch>
yeah, have fun finding someone...
<Mat2ch>
If you get a relatively cheap accomodation on campus though, this could be nice.
<packbart>
can't they just give me "an honours degree" if I apply for the job?
<packbart>
I ticked the first two boxes (I have talked to service providers across the globe and chatted with Real Astronomers on IRC), then failed the third one :)
<raptop>
heh
<packbart>
I have basically zero Excel skills :(
<SporkWitch>
packbart: degrees are usually not hard requirements, if you can prove equivalent experience. A lot of stuff on job descriptions is either HR fluff to make it easier for them to triage applicants, or intentionally designed to prevent finding candidates, so they can claim no citizens can do it and bring in dirt-cheap foreign labor on a work visa
<packbart>
the round-trip-times of requesting work from a US service who sub-contracts to Australia are not great
<packbart>
(from a Europen office hours point of view)
<SporkWitch>
makes sense, you're right in the middle of the time zones. I work NA hours, so the EU ticket gets passed to me (if it's paying for 24/7 service and/or meets the priority requirements), and then pass to APAC at the end of mine, then back over to EU

<packbart>
yeah, it usually took at least two days to get a response
<SporkWitch>
main issue is usually if it's a sub-contractor, as you say, and they're explicitly regional. The ticket handover i described above, everyone would be working it, all internal; main delay is if the customer doesn't have someone to work it during their night.
<packbart>
I was only using that as an example of "experience in managing international projects" :)

<SporkWitch>
but yeah, if you've gotta wait for APAC hours for the contractor to receive the request, then wait for NA hours for YOUR vendor to follow up, then YOUR hours to respond, it's gonna take a couple days heh

ATK lobbyists force you to add more boosters. Your rocket clips into The Backrooms.
<XXCoder>
too many boosters!!
<raptop>
Remember when ATK existed as a separate entity?
<XXCoder>
not really but then I wasnt following stuff that closely
