DON LOUD. DIARY.
Third day.
I did not think that the Doppler effect so
beautiful. We fly with superlight. Someone said that under the
laws of Einstein, we shall return home a few days on earth
time. I do not know that I can not believe.
Days 4, 5, 6, 7 - no change, all busy with their work. In
addition to audits of chains me to do nothing.
Eighth day.
Abraham! According to the observations of our old galoshes,
ahead of some strange change space. Our speed is approaching
two light. Can not rotate. Braking, too. To the zone anomaly
eight o'clock flight, try to sleep.
Day Nine.
Entered into a zone of strange space.
The stars have disappeared (not mine). Our "superbrain, to put
it mildly, puzzled." If I have not added extra time to reverse
communication, hung to our great schitatel.
Day ten.
Captain says: "If we do not go out
out of this damn band - will slow down. "
Communication systems do not work. I do not signaller,
so why not work to say no
I (and the signalman could not, says -
should).
Day eleven.
Brake. When skrost fell to 1.8 MW,
stars appeared. While doplerovy effect
the location of the ship was not identified. Slowing down
further.
Days 12, 13, 14, 15 - no change.
Sixteenth day.
Showed up normal stars. Calculator busy vychesleniem our
coordinates. Something too long it does it. Soon
go out on a stationary orbit. In a pair of light-hours - a
yellow star like our Sun can be a little hotter.
Seventeenth day.
Coordinates defined. It turns out that we
somehow passed for a lot longer than I intended, a kind of
thirty light-years, and it is for twelve days!?
It turned out that the star, near which we
proved to have several planets: three gas giant planets like
our couple Mercury, and a pair of like Venus and Earth. Y
third - four small satellites, the
Fourth, similar to our planet, more
other - two. Each with a half moon. The day after tomorrow we
will go into orbit. As board engineer, preparing a boat for
landing. All in terrible excitement. Places in the paper four
and willing to go down - twelve people. Who will it be?
Day eighteen.
I have not taken. I have to follow the landing boat and send
it to radars. The boys sat down on the night side, just case,
although the city is not visible, but as they say, better safe
than sorry. Waiting dawn. Need a nap, perhaps, not desirable.
Worried.
Nineteenth day.
Well, that's Dawn. All huddled in the wheelhouse,
stick to the main screen. I am good at
I have my own, to debug the old
bastard. The picture below convey good.
Fully terrestrial fauna, several unusual
but nothing. You can see where the tree, and where
bush (or is it grass?). Strange Animals -
have from two to eight feet, and it is clear that
or insects. In mostly small specimens, but
was seen a couple of explicit predators under three
feet tall. The captain ordered the unarmed
and protective suits do not come out.
The asterisk is analyzing the atmosphere.
Rats overboard while they live. I always
surprised at the old books that the characters at once
after landing rushed to lie on the grass on another planet not
thinking about the fact that this grass they can easily eat and
not choke.
Day of the twentieth.
All assays were completed. Found a pair of
harmful microbes, which made our
krysok cheer, but our doctor search
medicine. But without an oxygen mask on
long time do not go, there are several harmful to human
emissions. Signs of intelligence have not yet discovered. I
suggested that the bot fly to the coast. Today will set our
overshoe, found a wonderful spot in the river delta.
