Survivors List: Moon Colony

Within the next several hours, a comet will destroy most of the moon. You are part of a group appointed by the president of the United States to make a very difficult decision. Eleven people are located in a shelter on the far side of the moon. Your committee has been informed that after the comet holocaust, people in this shelter will likely survive, but resources are only available for eight people. Therefore, your committee is to decide which three individuals will be put in the air lock and ejected onto the moon's surface. You have 20 minutes to inform the president of your decision.
