Not all astronauts are equally useful. And not each astronaut is identical to hero. For a long time, when space accustomed, and the good half of mankind sat on the cosy and warm Earth, certainly, each flight in space was the act heroic ... But in due course, on change to the heroes to the pioneers there came usual working - representatives of enough prosaic trades, such as: the assemblers, welders, drivers of transport and passenger rockets, workers of space factories and finishing with the collectors of dust. (And this temporary side of transition - from the heroes to daily occurrence was dim enough.) Further, this story will also be about dust . About the man - cleaning and removing space garbage. The man of this trade - on a slang of the astronauts - simply... - "GM" - is a man adequate for delivery of containers for packing of space dust. The garbage containers by the form remind the large barrels, by their chain is pulled the special transport ships for the further processing ... Clearly, that GM did not shine with the special intelligence even among the space workers, in the majority. But essence not in it.
All these workers of space including GM, sometimes, for the different reasons were lowered from heavens on the guilty Earth ...
So, in one of schools prepared for new academic year. On tradition was decided to invite the representative, what - be of a heroic trade. Have begun to think ... And one young teacher has recollected, that the neighbour - the astronaut recently has returned from space watch, home - to holiday. She has gone to him in the evening and has offered to the hero to reach in school to carry out a lesson of courage. Whether it is necessary to speak, what the hero the astronaut was who other, how garbage-GM? The teacher, was not strong in classification of the astronauts ...
-- Hmm, - has told GM, looking from above downwards on the fragile girl and rotating red (from overloads, certainly) eyes.
-- Well, and it is good ... then come tomorrow. All school will wait from you of the interesting stories about everyday lives of the heroes of space! - shy both is pleased the teacher has told and has left.
-- Hmm, - once again has told , looking following to to the nice teacher, has pulled by mighty shoulders and has returned to the interrupted deserved rest (with the friends and beer).
In the morning (as it is surprising) GM has come in school. For lecture the management has prepared the large hall. A great lot to the people - schoolboys of younger and senior classes, teacher, technicians and even robots - duty ... was going
GM of villages on the honourable place, allocated to him. But long it was not necessary to sit: the director of school, representative and corpulent enough man solemnly has transferred a word to our hero of space. The hero has risen to a tribune, has thrown a heavy sight in a hall and has told:
-- The containers for the tax of dust are be of three types: easy, heavy and superheavy. The diameters of their connections go under one standard. Having merged - too.
Then in a hall became silent. Minutes through five up to the directors has reached, that it, actually story - the lecture is finished ... He in bewilderment has looked at the young teacher, that has invited the hero. The teacher has reddened, but has not become puzzled and, having risen with a place, as could loudly, has asked:
-- So, maybe, someone had questions?
-- It is possible for me? - the small girl has lifted a hand.
-- Certainly! - the teacher was delighted. - Give, what at you?
-- My daddy, too astronaut. He now at work - in space at a factory ... He spoke, that garbage containers eternally does not suffice!
GM has stared at the girl. Then strongly has struck by a fist on a tribune:
-- Fuck! The containers do not suffice?! Fuck ...! Us it does not concern! Let it concerns the dispatcher and grown-up of dust change!
And all history.
It is necessary to add, that after that memorable lecture about everyday lives of the heroes of space, in school was decided to invite the representatives of less heroic trades ...
