If a player has a triggerable mission that could be triggered by an event outside their turn (such as being pushed onto a planet by solar system rotation), can they claim the mission reward immediately or must they wait until their next turn?

Official Answer
A player cannot claim the mission reward immediately if the triggerable mission is triggered by an event outside their turn. According to the rules on page 15:
- "Note: It is possible to trigger some missions even outside of your turn."
- However, page 28 states: "Players cannot play free actions between turns, nor on another player's turn."
Claiming a mission reward (covering a circle with a marker and gaining the bonus) is a free action. Therefore, even if the mission is triggered outside your turn, you must wait until your next turn to claim the reward.
