, but in the stories he never emphasizes its role, sometimes leading, as if he was there and only. This ability to look from the side, being in the center of events, the wilful detachment allows to him, like the custodian of the great MYSTERIES of TIME, keep it to once share the secret, tell you first hand... And more. Over the years, you realize that the most difficult thing in life, oddly enough, is the ability to be grateful to people, without the statute of limitations of the good done to you. This quality was given to S. P. Korolev. So the book "Sergey Pavlovich Korolev-The Genius of the XX century" was written not only by the best student of the Korolev School, the most talented test pilot of rocket technology of the XX century, but also by a very honest person who remained forever grateful and devoted to the Chief Designer.(A.I.

Rocket fire tried to get away, But could not, and she froze... In granite black Memory we still have to go In the Park of silence, the silence of the plates. October the Baikonur not forgotten. And now here without unnecessary big words "Come" and lay down Arkady Ostashev. He came to his brother, to relax, Maybe with him to pass the eternal path. Burning steppes, and melt concrete... October he will not forget the polygon.
