+# Space Age
+
+Welcome to Space Age on Exercism's TypeScript Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on:
+
+- Mercury: orbital period 0.2408467 Earth years
+- Venus: orbital period 0.61519726 Earth years
+- Earth: orbital period 1.0 Earth years, 365.25 Earth days, or 31557600 seconds
+- Mars: orbital period 1.8808158 Earth years
+- Jupiter: orbital period 11.862615 Earth years
+- Saturn: orbital period 29.447498 Earth years
+- Uranus: orbital period 84.016846 Earth years
+- Neptune: orbital period 164.79132 Earth years
+
+So if you were told someone were 1,000,000,000 seconds old, you should
+be able to say that they're 31.69 Earth-years old.
+
+If you're wondering why Pluto didn't make the cut, go watch [this
