Does he eject her?

[-] way_of_UwU@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago

!Yes. She goes willingly after learning her brother is on the colony that the pilot is sent to bring supplies to. The pilot allows her one last video call to him before she is jettisoned.!<

If she's onboard and the ship is running that tight with fuel, then they already missed.

Oh believe me, even though I thought it was a good read, I have a lot of criticism for the story. God forbid literally any kind of emergency happens and additional fuel is needed to avoid catastrophe. I get wanting to maximize space for supplies, but the risk far outweighs the benefits of operating on such tight margins.

Sometimes teachers field stories like this to foster critical thought and encourage insightful book reports. It's stimulating material even with a flawed premise, and that's the point.

My teachers always seemed to be the type that had these stories in the curriculum, but weren't the type to follow up with the thinky-thinky bits. This had rather predictable results.
