The Airlock Problem

Resource allocation when the resources are people

Six scenarios. No right answers. Every choice has a cost. Every cost has a name.

You are mission leadership on Pathfinder, three years from Earth, responsible for 300 lives in a metal tube hurtling toward Saturn. The decisions you make here will determine what kind of colony you build—and what kind of person you are when you get there.

Your decision speed is recorded. Hesitation is data.

Any similarities to any trolley problems, living or dead, is purely coincidental. All scenarios are hypothetical. All consequences are real.
