@pip25 probably some important scientist considering Nasa's personality

They told us who that was the chapter Tsukasa got her phone. It’s John von Neumann, and the chapter dialog called him the father of digital computers or something like that. Not surprising, given Nasa’s interests and personality.

"This current age sure is convenient.." Aand one more hint goes in the basket. When are we going to learn about her background? And who, or perhaps what, she is?

I momentarily forgot Tsukasa's name writing this comment, so I opened the first chapter to look, and I spot Nasa uttering a very peculiar sentence after just being rescued by Tsukasa;
"It's like.. she was Kaguya-hime". I wasn't too sold on the idea she's the moon princess previously, but if that's meant to be hint by the author, it sure is a very clear one...

I really do find it funny, though not surprising, people kept thinking she was Kaguya-hime. The references are a bit too overt, but there’s far more subtle things that point to a more mundane origin for her, and that only her unnaturally long life is the remarkable thing. Far as I can tell as of this chapter and volume, she is a normal human from Nara who must have been 16 around when the real Kaguya-hime left the Emperor and gave him the immortality elixir which he ordered burned atop a mountain or such. Instead of it being destroyed, it somehow ended up administered to Tsukasa. Best guess is she was the daughter of one of the men tasked with the elixir’s destruction and that she was deathly ill or gravely injured, and her father defied imperial order to save his daughter.

Also, if people think about the moon rock… it’s actually a red herring, and pretty easy to realize why: there is no way it could be preserved in the way that it is now using ancient methods. It is not some ancient relic kept for Tsukasa from time of antiquity, because that is impossible. It can only be a more modern acquisition through the Apollo program, and it likely has no more significance for Tsukasa besides sentimental value (as a human proud of our achievements as a species), or, at best, something connecting to the immortality elixir, somehow, but nothing more beyond that.

Oh this is when that 100 days married guy messed up huh

If you mean Nasa, they can’t be married for more than two months due to clearly stated time stamps. The time from when she first arrived at his apartment to the start of the Kyoto-Nara trip arc was explicitly stated to be one week. The trip itself only took a few days -one day in Kyoto, another in Nara, a third for the return trip, most likely. When they returned and found the apartment burned down, they soon learned that the owner was rebuilding and it would take a month and a half. We will likely know when that month and a half has passed when they hear from the landlord and maybe start moving into the new, rebuilt place.
