13:27 Days on Mars |
Day 6
On Saturday, our company broke into groups and couples and rested. I went to Alex.
“Alex, I’m writing about our adventures. Like, I’m blogging. I make posts on Facebook and Twitter. People may not believe us, that we really are on Mars. They will ask where we got so much fuel and resources to fly to Mars.” Alex smiled. “But you say that we do not fly on a kerosene barrel. We have new technologies. We compress the planet’s gravity and it throws us where we need to. On the way in space, the ship connects to the gravity of the planet where we fly and it's helps us to get there. It's like a jeep using a winch pulling himself out of the swamp. Do you understand?” “Yeah,” I said. “Don't forget to add that the ship has a gravity stabilizer and gravity batteries. This is very important for space travel. We do not have the engine that flies on primitive rocket fuel, just write it.” “Yeah, I’ll write,” I said again, pretending to understand something. “Unfortunately, there is no new Korolev. This is a man with a capital letter. A genius in space technology. Until now, everyone uses his best practices. I'm talking about three rocket stages. Nobody could come up with anything new.” “Alex, I heard they say that aliens installed lasers on Phobos and they shoot down almost all the earth ships that fly to Mars. They didn’t shoot us down?” “Of course not, because we have new technologies. It’s like a sieve or filter. They shoot down primitive rocket-powered ships. Rocket fuel is the lowest level of spacecraft development. True, some skip that people see Mars and do not lose their desire to further develop space technology. But then they still destroy all ships. Got it? So write it. Okay, I need to check the drone that crashed.” “Well, I won’t bother you,” I said, and stepped aside. Honestly, I did not understand everything from what I heard. Maybe you will understand something about the springs of gravity, stabilizers and batteries? I wanted to eat something from everything I heard. I'm going to make myself a sausage sandwich.
