crew's
psychological compatibility.
This is a very serious question.
Academician Kurochkin
could have answered it.
But, unfortunately,
he left for Central Africa.
Though it's no problem, we'll speak
to one of the crew members
who is in charge of
the biological side of the expedition.
I would ask everybody
to come to the bio-center.
Please.
Girls.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Let me introduce to you the
exobiologist Varvara Kuteishchikova.
Space doctor Julia Sorokina.
Your questions, please.
What were the principles
of selecting the crew?
I mean
the psychological compatibility.
Children's magazine "Pif".
Pardon, madam.
I've got a quest...
This question.
Mademoiselle Kuteishchikova,
what made you,
the principal opponent
of Sereda's project,
decide to participate
in this expedition?
I've devoted my life to biology.
The elder comrades
convinced me
that my participation in this
expedition is necessary for science.
And l'm ready to do everything
for the sake of science.
And you, Mademoiselle Sorokina?
I've always been an ardent supporter
of Vitya Sereda's project.
My cherished dream is going to
come true -
l'm flying with Vitya
to Alpha Cassiopeia.
How many mice have been
used in the biological experiment?
I'd like you
to answer my question
about the crew's
psychological compatibility.
Four of the six crew members
are students of the same class.
We've been friends for 7 years.
Of course, we all
have different characters,
but we're united by a common goal,
mutual respect
and the sense of responsibility.
Perhaps that's why we so easily
passed the test on compatibility
by a special program.
Yes, she wrote the note.
Julia?
Well...
She's alright.
Even her glasses don't spoil her
very much.
And then, at this age...
In one year she may
change completely.
And in the future
she even may be beautiful.
And Varya may become quite plain.
An excellent machine.
The ship is just cool.
Vitya, take me along
before it's too late.
It is too late.
All kinds of unexpected things
might happen in flight.
Say, the water will evaporate.
What will you do then?
I'll think of something.
Fedya, you're incompatible.
You must be grateful that I let
you come to the ship today.
Just think, Sereda.
You can't do without me.
Lay off, Lob.
Want me to tell you a secret?
I invented a universal glue.
It glues up everything.
Let me demonstrate it.
A magic glue.
Try to tear it off.
You can't go to space
without this glue.
How many times did I say
not to let him come near the ship!
I don't want to see you here again!
Please, go on.
What do you say about your expedition?
Get away from here.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
No admittance under 16
And what's this?
Sorry, but it is
our professional secret.
Lead the guests on, act the host.
I want you to pay attention to
the device
that, I think,
might be of interest to you.
Come here, please.
That device is
an object of our pride.
This is the device.
It is a portable thought detector.
Should the expedition
members have good luck
to encounter the inhabitants
of other planets
with an absolutely different
form of language communication,
this unique device
will come to their aid.
Please, say a few words
in your native language.
Terrific!
The translator machine
is nothing new.
Allow me to set
a more complicated task
to your thought detector.
Take this damned thing away from me.
You'd better have offered me
a good bone.
It's so noisy here. l'm tired and
want to go home.
Fabulous!
Please excuse me, but the time
of our press conference is up.
I have to continue working
with the starship crew.
Goodbye.
You'll be shown out.
Natasha, see our guests out.
Excuse me, just one question.
What is KO?
It should be OK.
KO is Kamera of Outcleaning.
Getting into this camera,
all refuse and rubbish
that accumulate in the ship
are being automatically packed
in hermetically sealed packages.
