NYT -- If it sounds unrealistic to suggest that astronauts would be willing to leave home never to return alive, then consider the results of several informal surveys I and several colleagues have conducted recently. One of my peers in Arizona recently accompanied a group of scientists and engineers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on a geological field trip. During the day, he asked how many would be willing to go on a one-way mission into space. Every member of the group raised his hand. The lure of space travel remains intoxicating for a generation brought up on “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.”

Как обычно, коммунисты совершенно ничем не примечательны; мы имеем дело с универсальной человеческой ценностью. Пелевину не обязательно было писать про СССР.

Возмутительное обеление советского народа! Конкурс в отряд космонавтов - миллион человек на место, это все знают.
