This system looks so illogical for base 8 it's probably not base 8 at all
If it is I legitimately wonder how they even got to space

How is it even possible to be off by 5 when you can just check the last digit and immediately know that it's wrong
plus base 8 roman numerals would probably look something like this:
A, AA, AB, B, BA, BAA, AC, C
where A=1, B=4 and C=8 with the rules of roman numerals that you know and love preserved

Yes, and a freefalling/orbiting reference frame is inertial and a reference frame on the planet is not, but general relativity makes things weird
