On page 51, where the title is explained:
"... whom he must eject into space as per law, but if he does so, the fuel on the ship will become dangerously low, ",
I believe this should be
"... whom he must eject into space as per law, [and] if he does [not], the fuel on the ship will become dangerously low, ".
Also, if I recall the story, the issue with the fuel was that he would not be able to decelerate, which would lead to the death of both on them when they hit the planet.
On a different note, where are you finding these title explanations? They are great, and I have been learning of new books to read with these.
