Today, on August, 18th 19. Year, exactly at 5.00 Moscow time, for what it prepared one and a half ten years has begun.
Start of the first photon rocket has marked a new era in the history of interplanetary messages. And with the same start has
ended for it, Krajuhina, possibility directly to influence the further course of events. One and a half ten years of searches,
struggle, huge pressure... And here than all it has ended: it sits, listening to melancholy autumn sounds, to monotonous
staccato knocking of rain drops in windowpanes, to gurgle of the streams which are flowing down from a roof, to thin howl of
a wind. Six perfect people onboard the most perfect in the world planetoleta took from it a baton and have moved further, to
realisation of its treasured dream. And it remained, at once weakened and bent. Also waits, waits, waits...
For an instant it has felt sharp pity to itself(himself) and envy to them, young, but has now forgotten about it because the fear
for these people was the main feeling which has pushed aside on a background all other feelings and thoughts. Well... Trial
flight "Hiusa" has passed safely. It seems, to a subtlety processes in a titanic casing of the photoreactor are studied... The
Engineer can specify with absolute accuracy that occurs there in any milliard fraction of a second, and to expect that will
occur in the subsequent shares. All is considered: monstrous temperatures, monstrous speeds, monstrous pressure and
pressure. But after all not on ill fate unfortunate Petrosyan has blown up! Krajuhin has hardly swallowed some spoons to tea.
The throat has dried up, eyes cut. A body the opposite fever seized. On glass brilliant strips water streamed.
- Nasty thing, - he has murmured, chilly involving a head in shoulders.
Expedition failure would be accident of business of all life... Right now, when many yet do not trust in "Hius" when the
sensation lifted "cautious" round sudden explosion of first "Hiusa" has not settled yet. Then it seemed that the idea of a
photon drive is discredited for a long time... Perhaps, for ever. Only intervention of the governmental commission has made
silent maloverov, stuck to a great cause.
