[ TT ] Your ship 's dead in space , nothing working but life support . You 've still got momentum from when the engines worked , and with no way to `` steer '' , you 're months away from crashing into the very planet you were supposed to colonize . No one can reach you in time to help . How do you tell your crew ?

`` Alright, everybody. Thing is, the engines are down. Like, really down. Anybody an engineer?'' 
 
 The crew stirs, looking nervously to one another. The engines were experimental, and this was their time out on anything not a test. Nobody knew anything about them, and everything that needed to be built on the colony came with easy-to-read instructions, courtesy of an IKEA corporate backing. 
 
 A slow, shaky hand rose through the air, cutting through the mist of worry. 
 
 `` I made a potato battery once... Does that count?'' 
 
 Looking at the crowd, I let out an internal sigh. `` Sure. That'll do.'' 
 
 As I turned around to show the'engineer' the engines, I gave one last instruction to the crew. 
 
 `` Everyone else, get out and push.''
