"Uhhh, I only have another seventy or eighty years before I die of old age and am now even more curious about your transmissible transhumanity thing. Also food and a room costs money; I'm just planning to go home with enough resellable technology that it'll be okay if I spend a few months burning through my savings first. If your society hasn't invented tapcards or whatever we can figure something out."

"I won't let you die of old age.  And I don't need food, for the most part, and might not need a room.  But no, we've not invented tapcards."

'Won't let you' is kind of an unnerving way to phrase that but Anda is too happy about life extension to care. "How long are you going to live if nothing bad happens? And how long are your years? And what futuristic-for-you technologies are you most interested in picking up?"

"So far we've only died of bad things happening, and the oldest of us is around five or six hundred years of three hundred sixty-five and a quarter days each.  I would desperately like to go to the moon and the planetwide network is intriguing."

"That's so incredibly cool and I should probably not tell you to do it to me right now but I'm very tempted. I can get you books on rocketry and the internet--do you know the laws of motion that govern the movement of the planets? What are your society's main energy generation and storage technologies? What's your current state of the art in communications? So I know what prereqs to cover."

She does a little shoulder shimmy.  "I at least personally don't know those laws.  What sort of things do you classify as energy: electricity or something more futuristic?  We have non-planetwide networks for text and sound, in some places, and people sometimes serve as relays between those."

"Yeah, we run everything off electricity. Well, rockets use chemical fuels, but if you have abundant electricity you should be able to synthesize propane and lox and stuff. How do your current communications networks work? Do you have any kind of electricity-based calculating machine?"

"I don't know of one.  Some communications networks run wires everywhere in that network, and either send text by encoding it as sounds of various lengths or send sounds directly.  But radios are more common and they don't use wires.  - Does running around leaving notes at landmarks count as a communications network; we do an awful lot of that but it's not very technological."
