История освоения космоса — самый яркий пример торжества человеческого разума над непокорной материей в кратчайший срок. С того момента, как созданный руками человека объект впервые преодолел земное притяжение и развил достаточную скорость, чтобы выйти на орбиту Земли, прошло всего лишь чуть более пятидесяти лет — ничто по меркам истории! Большая часть населения планеты живо помнит времена, когда полёт на Луну считался чем-то из области фантастики, а мечтающих пронзить небесную высь признавали, в лучшем случае, неопасными для общества сумасшедшими. Сегодня же космические корабли не только «бороздят просторы», успешно маневрируя в условиях минимальной гравитации, но и доставляют на земную орбиту грузы, космонавтов и космических туристов. Более того — продолжительность полёта в космос ныне может составлять сколь угодно длительное время: вахта российских космонавтов на МКС, к примеру, длится по 6-7 месяцев. А ещё за прошедшие полвека человек успел походить по Луне и сфотографировать её тёмную сторону, осчастливил искусственными спутниками Марс, Юпитер, Сатурн и Меркурий, «узнал в лицо» отдалённые туманности с помощью телескопа «Хаббл» и всерьёз задумывается о колонизации Марса. И хотя вступить в контакт с инопланетянами и ангелами пока не удалось (во всяком случае, официально), не будем отчаиваться — ведь всё ещё только начинается<span>

From that moment, as man-made object first broke the force of gravity and developed sufficient velocity to escape Earth orbit, it's only been a little more than fifty years - nothing by the standards of history! Most of the population of the planet vividly remembers when the moon was considered to be something out of science fiction, and hoping to pierce the sky was admitted, at best, harmless to society crazy. Today the spacecraft is not only "through space", successfully maneuvering under conditions of minimal gravity, and delivered to earth orbit cargo, cosmonauts and space tourists. Moreover - duration space flight now can be arbitrarily long: watch Russian cosmonauts on the ISS, for example, lasts for 6-7 months. And yet over the past half-century, people had to walk on the moon and take pictures of her dark side, made of artificial satellites of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and mercury, "learned in the face of" distant nebula with the Hubble telescope and is seriously thinking about the colonization of Mars. Although to make contact with aliens and angels yet have not been able (at least officially), we will not despair because it has only just begun...</span>

Jack: You look rather pale. Aren’t you feeling well?Glenn: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn’t sleep very well.Jack: What seems to be the matter? Is it the flu?Glenn: No, I think it’s something I ate. We ate at the new restaurant last night, and I must have eaten something that didn’t agree with me.Jack: Was it that new restaurant on Gyde Street?Glenn: As a matter of fact, it was. Why do you ask?Jack: Because, Jerry ate there last week and had the same kind of problem. He was sick the next day, too.Glenn: That’s interesting. Maybe the health authorities should investigate the place.<span>Jack: That’s what I think. Two people with similar problems in such a short time can’t just be coincidence!</span>
