receive
our rocket to the space station?
Next Thursday.
You're welcome. The space station
is open for all.
I am grateful to you.
Until our meeting...
-On your "moon".
-Goodbye.
-You want to underground?
-No, I want to be under the stars.
-I'm very glad.
-Why?
Since you don't want to go below
that means no one is waiting for you.
-Well, now I want to go under.
-Why?
Because, here, there
is nowhere to escape from you.
I don't think they will be
very pleased with our coming.
I thank for the meeting
and for the pleasant reception.
But we are businessmen.
Allow me to speak this table about work.
Please, Mr. Verst.
Business is business.
First of all, I wanted to tell you
about the aim of our visit.
Klark and I have decided
to trek to Mars.
Yes, gentlemen.
We are flying to Mars.
Well, from the bottom
of my heart I wish you luck.
I thank you.
You know, with you message,
you've made us seriously interested.
For such news any reporter would pay a lot.
This is news with a capital "N".
And you know, I was just about to tell you
this news but then...
I just recalled, fortunately,
your impressive tradition:
At first,  do it and then
later the sensation.
-Correct?
-Completely.
Continue. Continue.
Oh, you think
that I am full of sensation?
Allow me to make a request.
For the mission to Mars,
we wanted to use the launch pad
from your space station.
Please, please do,
we are ready to help out.
And we are always pleased
with fellow travellers.
We are also flying to Mars.
Are you joking?
Not at all.
The ship.
Please this way.
But why didn't you
announce the flight?
That is also a very remarkable
tradition, Mr. Verst.
First do it and then the sensation.
Or as they say in Ukraine:
First jump and then say "oops".
-When do you start?
-If it's not a secret.
We are waiting for necessary
positions of the planets.
According to our calculations
the start time will be Wednesday, next week.
And you when?
Our take off day is a secret.
Well, it's already late.
All the best.
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
I must contact Kharkim.
I hate this news.
And you think Kharkim will like it?
-Yes? Please.
-May I?
-I'm not bothering you?
-No, no, please have a seat.
Thank you.
We've both heard about each other forever.
-And this is the first meeting.
-Let's get to know one another closer.
You are an astronaut.
I'm an astronaut.
Yes, I've read a lot about you.
Mr. Klark...
I have wanted to ask
you for a long time...
Ask.
How could you land on a rocket at El Paso?
By my calculations you should have passed
El Paso and have landed
near Japan.
That's what it cost me.
I was howling from the pain
but I put on the brakes.
I put on the brakes just to land
at El Paso even if I crashed.
-Your mother?
-Yes. She is my guardian angel.
When my father died and we lost everything...
...my mother dedicated her whole life me.
She made me what I am.
That was harder then flying to the moon.
I repeat Mr. Verst, don't stop.
You will proceed quickly.
Mr. Kharkim,
as far as I understand--
You understand nothing.
The navigation station would receive
the order to recalculate everything.
We can not risk
wasting anymore time.
But we risk lives.
That is your duty.
No more arguments.
Mr. Kharkim.
Mr. Kharkim!
Mr. Klark, you know that
we are flying to Mars.
Between Earth and Mars
we've put in a radio connection.
And using this you can easily
control your course.
I don't understand you.
We are opponents in groundbreaking competition.
And you are worried that I don't lose?
We have a great task.
To open a path to other planets.
To increase our knowledge
of other worlds.
To make space serve
the people of Earth.
Isn't that wonderful?
If I tell Mr. Kharkim about that...
...he will send me away
to the crazy house.
And if you tell Mr. Kharkim
that we are joining forces
in order to achieve our common aim.
He will also put you
into a crazy house?
No, he would put me
