right at the gate.
You know, in the depth
of your hearts you hate us.
Let this be a cruel but useful lesson
about useless competitions.
Well, I think that's all.
Let's sit.
-Andrei.
-Coming.
Have a seat.
Yeah...
What's up?
What, Yevgeni Peterovich?
Ola.
-This is right on.
-Please, take a glass.
My dear Andrei, this is a special day.
-So happy birthday.
-Thank you.
-Happy birthday!
-Thank you.
Thank you, friends.
I never thought I would ever celebrate
my birthday in space.
-We will also celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary.
-True.
Friends, the Earth has sent us
an unmanned rocket with fuel.
To receive and attach the rocket to Ikar
is a question of life and death.
Prepare to receive the rocket.
The rocket is on our radio waves.
I hear you.
Switching over to radio control.
Send a signal to break off.
Maximum break.
We have received an emergency message...
The satellite observatory in space
has observed a flash on Ikar.
This flash matched the moment
when the unmanned rocket landed on Ikar.
Connection with the ship
"Rodina" has ceased.
It is obvious that the rocket couldn't land on Ikar.
The Committee for Planetary communications
has organized a headquarters
for the quick rescue of the crew of the ship.
A second unmanned ship has been prepared.
Our satellites have organized signals
to get a connection with the ship.
Communication stations all over the world
will keep a continual watch of Ikar.
Andrei,
are you sad?
-Yes.
-You bride is waiting?
-Of course.
-Yes.
Has the Earth noticed our signal?
-I don't know.
-The idea is amazing that...
to build such an amazing bulb in space.
Pulkovo, 19th of June.
Nothing was observed from Ikar.
Crimski Observatory has nothing new to report.
Delhi has picked up nothing.
Los Angles the same thing.
Prague, nothing new.
The Milan Observatory has also
not picked anything up.
Attention.
The satellite "Friendship" speaking.
In observing Ikar we noticed
there was light signal.
The crew of the ship is still alive,
that is what we noticed.
The radar was destroyed, we cannot receive
an unmanned rocket.
Ikar is approaching Earth.
Now we must think of some kind
of help for the crew.
Because later Ikar will go
into the sun and then...
We must immediately...
Immediately find a way to help them.
Return them to Earth.
I know the way.
Can you imagine, Herman, the interest
there'd be in returning this geology to Earth.
Oh, you are still hoping
to return to Earth.
Why not?
You, yourself, know.
In a few days we will start
to move away from it.
Further and further.
And then...breaking news
Mr. Verst has died tragically
in a space mousetrap.
Mr. Kornev, I'm tired.
To hell with the Earth.
You send to hell our Earth, our mother land.
And you, what?
Grateful to her?
Yes, I am grateful to the Earth.
It armed me with knowledge.
She has given me wings to space.
And the most valuable of all...
she teaches me...
to bring happiness to people.
It is a great honour...
...to be her son.
Well, Robinson, have you met with "Space Friday"?
Emptiness. Fly to the stars....
Get changed and relax.
Earth. Earth. Earth.
Earth.
Mr. Kornev.
Mr. Kornev!
What is that?
-Andrei, your space suit.
-Aye-aye.
Gregory Somov.
There, Yevgeni Peterovich.
A rocket with fuel.
Gregory. Gregory!
I can't understand...
...how did he manage to get here
with an unmanned rocket.
That is a thought we can't comprehend.
Maybe he crossed the zone
with an extreme explosion.
And literally burned it out.
We are ordered to return to Earth...
God be with us.
Thank you. Thank you.
I have imagined the people
who saved my son's life.
Attention. Attention.
The ship "Rodina" is approaching
the Earth's atmosphere.
At a height of 287 tetrameters
All instruments are working properly.
-Andrei.
-Lena.
Well, that's all, Vera.
We are again together.
-Smile.
-You're more grey.
-What about the children are they healthy?
-Of course.
-It
