it's about some girl that stows away on a one-person cargo craft IN SPACE and she's either got to be ejected into space alive or the precisely calibrated vehicle will crash and the colony of thousands will die from starvation. It was very cool

How did it end
She was ejected into space and she died.
That story never made any sense to me
Unless your pilot is the guy from The Transporter
It only makes sense to carry a bit more fuel than you need
Just in case
I wrote this story once about eyebrow gremlins. But I lost it. So I will make up a new one. It will suck.
Once upon a time, in a far, far away place, there was a cow with no legs. The cow floated in the air, far, far above the wasteland. One day, a man came to the wasteland, bearing a small pie, the last thing that remained of his dead wife. He looked up at the sky...and his eyes filled with tears. For he knew that the sky had been defiled, that things that did not belong there called it home. The cow did not know this, for its brain was incapable of processing anything besides the weight of water molecules. And so, it rained. And the cow knew contentment. The man did not.

well it was also I think like, the extra weight threw off the landing calculations

yeah, it was both, they only had enough fuel for the job because the company that owned the thing or whatever was trying to do it as cheaply as possible

it was like "you being here ruins the landing calculations and we don't have enough fuel to postpone landing while we recalibrate. You die horribly and painfully or thousands die of starvation"

That didn't make sense either
So the if the landing was set and the fuel
Why have a person in their at all
Who the hell would take that job anyway
Go through space in a ship you have no control over and if the slightest thing goes wrong along the way
Your're dead

aww the transparency is all crapped up
As I said...it's only the beginning. I'm thinking of making a sequel.
last book i read was these short stories all about high school girls coming of age trying to figure out what it means to be an adult and experiencing love for the first time
before that was some book about this guy who lives his life obsessed over some married woman he cant have. i picked it cos the foreword related it to some goethe book that i guess had a similar sad story but must have been pretty influential since it apparently led to a number of copycat suicides
but then i looked at the goethe book and the only english translation of it looked like a bit of a chore so i just took the other book
it was a kinda whiny book

Doesn't the fact that she's on there in the first place irrevocably fuck up the calculations?
that's pretty obvious. The answer is yes. Seeing as though the whole story was based off that premise
maybe. but keeping her there for the rest of the trip certainly wasn't going to help the chances
I think it was explained much better in the story
read this immediately
Which is valid
I just thought the circumstances of the example were bad

No, I mean wouldn't shooting her into space be pointless?
She's been on the ship since it launched
The trajectory is already fucked by the extra weight no matter what they do

no wait that's the lyrics to a tiger army song
does this mean they aren't there
I read a japanese comic like that once
with sexy results
It was pretty rad
i'm going to my high school's graduation
stupid kids with their ceremonies
I'm only going because there's a party after
like I said, I can't remember the specifics. Maybe it was an oxygen issue. Wish I could re-read it
"going to see Ocean's13 and maybe playing Pokemon monopoly after"
oh. that's a little sad.
I'm sorry sir but you don't have any hands
we also have Pokemon: the Board Game
it's gonna be bumpin
