The short story "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin explores a situation where a stowaway girl is discovered on a small emergency spaceship carrying a critical payload, but her presence endangers the mission due to limited resources. The ship's pilot and navigator determine through calculations that the girl must be ejected from the airlock to her death in order for the ship to make it to its destination with enough fuel, highlighting the harsh realities and constraints of space travel.
