General Red space launch --- fuel reward question

[Blue Aero]

I just started a red launch. 10 on board.

4th and 5th receive 50 units of fuel
6th and 7th received 20 units of fuel.
8th, 9th, 10th receives 50 units of fuel

So when you are trying to build your fuel reserves, you are better off in 8th, 9th, 10th ? This is not right - even with the other items, someone who adds more rocket fuel should receive more fuel than those who add less - why 50 for 4th and 5th and then again for 8th+ but a lower amount for 6th and 7th???

4th and 5th receive 50 units of fuel
6th and 7th received 20 units of fuel.
8th, 9th, 10th receives 50 units of fuel

That's confusing...

Because 4/5th and then 6/7th (2xf20 so 40fuel so not a great difference) always have the chance of an item dropping from the Water World collection which produces 150fuel and 3 gold tokens, so those places are more important in the hunt for gold tokens. The last places 8th-infinity get the chest that gives 50fuel but no chance of Water World collection.

Only says they get one fuel 20.

Only says they get one fuel 20.

Added screenshot to post (had to go earn one to show)- as you can see it shows f20 with number 2 beside it. And I can confirm you always get 2xf20 from seasoned astronaut 3 - just a typo I imagine in the description.

Yeah it seems to be a typo as you always get 2xfuel20.
