There were between 250-350 prisoners, and each dropship could send down 100. If Jaha had sent down every prisoner and the Earth wasn’t survivable like he thought, then The Ark would have gotten more time to fix the oxygen systems. However, if they all lived and proved that the Ground was survivable (which they did with The 102), then they would have even less dropships to send down people back to the Ground and leave more useful/important/innocent people to die in space than they would have under Project Exodus.
