fascinating bit of science fiction. If you are familiar with the
first space flights of the 1950’s you know just how important fuel
conservation was. You were allowed so many burn-cycles before the
mission was a failure. But what if the mission only allowed for
failure? What if there was only enough fuel for one outcome and
hundreds of lives depended on it? That is the premise of the tale
Cold Equations. It first aired on X-Minus One in August of 1955.
