Age of launchies
How old were the kids when they were blasted off to Battle School? I don't think the book said. And if it did, I wasn't paying attention.

How far apart (age wise) were Bean and Petra?
How old were they when they got married/pregnant?
^this question especially bothered me.
Orson Scott Card has a majority of his characters getting married and having children rather young.

Ohhhh well. I knew their large age gap. I totally expected Pet to be at least in her twenties. I didn't know how old Bean would be, but then Card all of a sudden sprang up his age in Giant. Sixteen...!!! What is this I don't even!!
I'm thinking he was maybe fifteen when they got married. Possibly even fourteen? Not sixteen because by Giant they've already had Ender, and some time should have passed a little before and a little after Ender's birth.
So when Bean first went into BS, he was five and Pet was at least ten. It's a five year gap, give or take a few years. It's not that bad of a gap, but Bean was too young to get married, neh? e_e

eh
15 is a little young, but then, he has to because he thinks he's over halfway through with life, so why not? Strange image, though, a fifteen year old marrying a twenty year old...
