It is better not to think of it. And there are no bases not to trust this six.
Ermakov... Clever, cool, always quiet Anatoly Ermakov.
Perhaps, it unique who is closest to understanding of a true state of affairs. Anyway, it is skilled enough to estimate value of a
thermonuclear rocket for interplanetary messages. Yes it and it is no wonder. All his life has passed under supervision and a
management of Krajuhina. Krajuhin drove it in the first flight. Krajuhinu he calibrated the plans, at times seeming fantastic on
scope and boldness. Krajuhinu it imitated in hatred to stagnation and routine, at it learnt to understand people, in it saw an
example of selfless service to the native land. And still... It goes to Venus as the soldier on storm, and without reflecting will

companions.
But even he does not see the subdued Universe beyond the subdued Venus...
And for Dauge, the capable geologist-radioaktivshchika, the most tempting represents fantastic riches of Uranium Golconda.
Possibly, he feels in position of the inveterate hunter, long time compelled to subsist on poor tips of the suburban nature and
suddenly received the invitation in the reserved wood full of game. However, it still has Masha Jurkovskaja... But he is a
geologist to the core and consequently, of course, does not presume to endure too sharply to itself a family hardship.
For the Jurkovsky, successful geologist-scout, flight means first of all a new record and new sensations. It is seduced not so
with glory and honour - it openly scoffed at other pilots who have got drunk with attention and cares with whom they were
surrounded with the grateful country. It took part in the most risky expeditions, but its portraits seldom appeared in
newspapers and on telescreens. He loves danger for high sensation of a victory over it. He enjoys it, as a gourmet aroma of
a refined dish.
However, it bashfully hides this small weakness which Krajuhin somehow named "an eructation montekristovshchiny the
most bad sense".
