Read the summary of "The Cold Equations" below. Is this an
accurate summary?
The story takes place entirely aboard an Emergency Dispatch
Ship (EDS) headed for the frontier planet Woden with a load
of desperately needed medical supplies. The pilot, Barton,
discovers a stowaway: an eighteen-year-old girl. By law, all
EDS stowaways are to be jettisoned because EDS vessels
carry no more fuel than is absolutely necessary to land safely
at their destination. The girl, Marilyn, merely wants to see her
brother, Gerry, (she hadn't seen her in 10 years) and was not
aware of the law. When boarding the EDS, Marilyn saw the
"UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP OUT!" sign, but
thought she would at most have to pay a fine if she were
caught. Barton explains that her presence dooms the mission
by exceeding the weight limit, and the subsequent crash
would kill both of them and doom the colonists awaiting the
medical supplies. After contacting her brother for the last
moments of her life, Marilyn willingly walks into the airlock
and is ejected into space.
O No, it is missing the reason Marilyn boarded the ship
O No, it is missing Marilyn's shift to accepting her fate
O No, it is missing Barton's scientific reasoning for Marilyn's fate
