"Maganda araw po sa inyong lahat, ako po si Kit McCartney, please ask me anything--huwag lang math, grrrr, joke :) "

1.) Kaya mo bang tagalugin ang blurb mo? Kung oo ang sagot mo, pwede mo ba itong gawin sa isang paragraph? - ReddHumann

Hindi kayang i-translate lahat yung blurb. Hindi naman ganun ka-kumpleto ang bukabularyo ng agham natin. I tried googling but nahh....

Try ko na lang, "daloy ng oras kalawakan" ?? Hahaha parang shaider and dating.

2.) Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon na manirahan sa isang planeta, ano ito--- at bakit? - yoshiro_hoshi

When Tesla company founder offered a one way habitat to Mars, I seriously thought about it.

Pero ang pumipigil sa'kin ay ang natural law, particularly self preservation. Kasi kahit saang angulo mo pa tignan, ang one way ticket to Mars is semi-suicide.

So, no. Earth is still home for me. Earth rules! Rock on!

3.) Kung lilikha ka ng sarili mong planeta, ano ang hitsura nito, ano ang pangalan ng planetang iyon, ano ang pinag-kaiba ng planeta (special features, kumbaga) at anong hitsura at katangian mayroon ang mga alien na nakatira sa planetang nilikha mo... - yoshiro_hoshi

Arayku, dudugo yata ilong ko sa tanong na'to hahahaha.

Pero sa totoo lang, I already did this in R&D. Somewhere in the last third chapters I introduced a whole species and their planets. Yes, "planets" - for two major societal factions called the Rikish-Quant that inhabits the "the green ornament" planet, and the Rikish-Gakuran at the forest moon of the Gakuran cluster boarder.

The Rikish are small angelic people with telepathic capabilities, but more importantly they are the most loving and peaceful race in the whole galaxy. Dreamy right?

4.) Ano ang inspirasyon mo sa pag-gawa ng Ripe and Draggers---curious lang.... yoshiro_hoshi

About ten years ago, bumuo ako ng concept entitled "The Misadventures of Bob and Kai". Dito lahat nagsimula.

I made sketches, story lines, characters etc. etc. But it all got buried by the hardships of real life. While I was busy at surviving the Filipino way of life, the concept floated in my subconscious world.

Kaya siguro masasabi ko na malawak ang source influence ng R&D.

One source influence is Einstein's space-time bending theory. And aside from my infatuation to the Final Fantasy games and movies, I would say that one inspiration would definitely come from my curiosity as to how the Filipino culture would survive the space age. One of the reviewers here already noticed it.

Sa tingin mo kaya, pag sa outer space colony na tayo nakatira,a very long time from now, uso parin kaya ang pag-mamano? Yung mga ganun ba....

5.) Gumagawa ka rin ba ng nobelang tagalog? - yoshiro_hoshi

Oh yeah baby. Last 2006 (I think), I made the "Kiss Me or I'll Spank You With My Guitar."

It was Taglish and had an exciting first half, making my publisher/mentor super egzoited, kaya ayun minadali ko sya at kwerng kwerng, sumemplang ng bonggang bongga, ampanget ng kinalabasan ng second half, kumbaga ampaw hahahaha.
