Not everyone was cut out to be an astrogator.
And what of it? It was honest work. He had made his choices long ago. You spent your life either pulling gees or pushing c. And when you got tired, you grabbed some z’s. If there was a pushers’ code, that was it.
push-erとpussy-erでは発音が違うので、push c-erとでシャレているのです(cは光速)。宇宙船には女がいないので地球でセックスの相手を探すpussy-erがさもロリコンのように振る舞わざるをえない姿と悲哀がおかしい小品なのです。作者の好むハインラインの、「夏への扉」のパロディなのです。この小説はhonest workなのです
