and even after 10 days of living members half the council was still for the culling. how long do you have to wait before declaring something safe to inhabit? the council knew things would get bad, and putting 320 people additional people aboard a ship the will probably die in ( the assumed the 100 would die) gives them a better a chance of living than being floated. I never said putting them in there was "safe" but safer than floated into space? yes. lets say you but 420 people in there ( 320 from culling plus 100 ) crashing and all that 70% die ( 2/3 died from not being buckled in 66% ,i think more like 10% would die on impact) so 30% live thats 126 alive and you now have enough oxygen for 5 more months ( plus original 3 gives 8 months) gives you time to evaluate everything and less chance of the rebellion that happened.

if 10% died thats 378 alive, risk is worth reward since they were going to be floated anyway.

like i said, i blame council for the culling ( all of them ) not Bellamy. The council didnt min/max opportunity cost soon enough, which is their job in a society that is threatened.
