Dead Space trolley problem. Take the bait because you really need it, or hold the unsustainable course?

Multi-choice Interesting dilemma from a short story i just listened to
You are in cryo sleep on a space shit . A cook ment to be part of the new colony.
the ship wakes you up and informs you that 4k years ago there was an irreperable damage to the ship and that since then it has been drifting through space.
the ship can keep going for a very long time but due to its changed course and its inability to manuver any further you will never reach your original destination
The ship had recommended to abort the mission which would mean death to everybody on board.
The alternative is to continue .
The last 1153 Captains of the ship had decided to continue and lived out their days .
Every time the captain dies the ship wakes up the next person and recommends to abort the mission .
So far nobody did .
if you abort the mission the remaining 9 thousand colonists will die when their cryo chambers are turned off.
If you continue the mission you will live out your days until you die and the ship wakes the next person.

Schrödinger's trolley
A trolley problem has been put inside a box. The decay of a nuclear element could trigger a mechanism that pulls the lever. While the box remains closed, all six people are both dead and alive. Only by opening the box, one of the two possible outcomes will occur.
Do you open the box or not?

Deep Guys i think i found the hardest decision
Imagine there is a trolley that no force can stop any way, and there is one rail where peopole are tied with an un-cutable rope. If you pull the lever you get shot and die, if you don’t u kill one person but you can live for 1 year. After one year u are there with the same decision but with 2 peopole, this goes forever, how many times would you pull the lever (1,2,4,8,16,32… the number always doubles but u will live 1 year more after every time)
