tjradcliffe:
I used to work in guidance for orthopedic surgery, and one of the surgeons told me that the only thing patients wanted to know when he explained he was going to use a computer guidance system to help during the operation was, "Does it use lasers?"
Since the only laser on the system was a ten cent one used to get the optical tracker pointed in vaguely the right direction he could truthfully tell 'em, "Why yes, it does!" which made the patient happy. It was kinda frustrating to the team working on the 99.99% of the system that a) did the actual work and b) wasn't lasers. Kinda like getting a hamster named after you, I guess.

Talk to Gary Larson, the creator of The Far Side. He got a species of lice named for him!
Method of Madness:
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that was Hannerdad at first.
Black Sword:
You know, Dr. Case says Hanners is looking healthier. Is this a reference to the likely improvement in physical health that Hanner's improved mental health may have resulted in? Or is it more to do that our natural habitat has a better impact on humans than any artificial biomes we create for ourselves?
Related: I forget this part of my Space Lessons, but regardless of centripetal gravity, is it still a requirement to work out extensively to avoid significant body mass decay?

I don't think it's Tai's mom. If it was, she probably would have said something to Marten back when he was asking for time off.
