When they have again opened eyes, "Hiusa" was not visible any more. Only the easy foggy cloudlet blurred on that place
where it just was.
"Our LIFE is full of UNEXPECTEDNESS..." Anybody on "Hiuse" did not seduce itself(himself) hopes of fast and easy
landing. In due time in the report on expedition of Tahmasiba Ermakov has told, how it was difficult to conduct a rocket in
atmosphere of Venus as twirled it as if a chip in the whirlpool, what inhuman pressure it was necessary to keep a rocket
djuzami downwards. It has described furious winds, ice whirlwinds over the soil heated to hundred degrees. In such
conditions were useless and even the most perfect gyroscopic devices which in quieter atmospheres automatically held the
interplanetary ship precisely in the set position are dangerous, without allowing it to be shaken, rotate. And to turn over...
"Hiusu" it was necessary to rely on very inexact and every minute ready to interrupt navodku from artificial companions.
Radars protivometeoritnyh devices did not operate in atmospheric electric fields of Venus, and planetolet every instant could
fall the bulk upon any rocky top. Storms and tornadoes should take down "Hius" even more strongly, than a usual rocket for
its form though and facilitated landing "a bottom downwards" a little, but was far not flowed round.
And nevertheless only "Hius" could to count with the big degree of probability on a successful landing. It was capable to
decrease extraordinary slowly, centimetre behind centimetre, could rise and make again attempt to decrease in other place
that the best atomno-pulse rocket with its limited stock of a free wheeling never could do. Ermakov declared "Hius" "the
mister of planets with atmospheres", and now it was necessary to prove it.
- The trifles, all trifles, - Michael Antonovich Krutikov muttered, in the tenth time checking durability of the belts keeping it in
an armchair. - all trifles, and all will go perfectly, I assure you. Slightly will shake, perhaps...
But think, what revolution in the history of mastering by space begins this flight "Hiusa"! - this Thought very consoles me in a
prediction of future tests, - has drawlingly told Jurkovsky. - Still... Krutikov, that - know? - Which the first built raketodrom on
Venus! - if only to sit down... - has muttered Dauge.
