Fatrick naturally assumes from his own experience that the only reason to allow access to a large ape is to allow it to fuck one's wife...

Rick dusting off his "hard sci-fi author" persona made me remember something that bothered me when I tried to get through
The Ark. In case you aren't one of the 100 or so people who have actually read Rick's books, it's one of those boilerplate "colony ship is on the way to an alien planet because the earth blew up, then some shit happens" types.
The titular colony ship is cruising at 5% light speed (around 15'000 km/s) and has to decelerate to effectively 0 (well, whatever the star system's escape velocity is, but it's negligible) to not fly past its destination.
Rick couldn't even keep the duration of this deceleration burn consistent, but none of the times mentioned make sense. The funniest option is this:
So far, that hadn’t been necessary, but Landing was in less than two weeks (chapter 5)
One chapter earlier, the "flip" (where the ship flips around to point its engines towards the destination and begins to decelerate) was also described as being "less than two weeks" away. So, being generous, let's say that the flip is in 10 days, and landing is in 13.
That gives them 3 days to decelerate from 15'000 km/s to 0, which means they'd need to be decelerating at around 58 m/s^2. That's nearly 6 g, which over 3 days would kill everyone on board.
But because he's retarded, Rick later contradicts himself and describes the deceleration phase as lasting around one month:
There was no way his little tribe would survive the month of hard deceleration coming in less than two weeks down in these quarters. (chapter 17)
Which gives a much more sane 0.6 g. Of course this also means that he managed to contradict himself within a single sentence, because in no world is that unsurvivable "hard deceleration". It could also be that, because he's fat, Rick perceives Earth's 1 g as pure torture and therefore 0.6 g as merely "hard".
What I actually think happened was that Pat forgot to convert m/s^2 to gs after plugging his numbers into the formula
More generally, there's absolutely no reason to start decelerating this late. The ship can flip whenever it wants, so just flip two years out and enjoy the barely perceptible deceleration.
