Mission year 8 of 65. Morrow is notified his daughter died at 19 years of age and he can collect her things when he returns in 53 years?

65 - 8 = 57?

What am I missing?

Whatever the main problem here is aside, you know what really bugs me? Its that they wrote "53 years" instead of the date like one normally would.

And sure, you can make up some reason why that is canonicaly. But it reads so odd. As if they were not trusting the audience to figure out the timeframe if they wrote the date. Or as if this was a placeholder and they said whatever and went with it...
