Humanoids

Humanoids … Machine people, we have them at our disposal. I envy these soul less creatures for they as Angels do not feel any kind of pain. Our robot, Ed Burkye is a French guy, the machine person, although I do not feel comfortable with strange person in my home, rolling in my direction ready to serve. Now, I will have to endure them in the spaceship. Ethical as always, hopefully unable to kill. With them, we will build democracy, where people are no longer subject to the will of governments. Every life counts, all galaxies struggle for life to witness its beauty, smartness and force. Nature must is existence. Conscious machines, great abstracted – in unconscious state they travel.

They entered the rocket. After the door had closed,- they took their positions. Boson started the rocket engine, allowing liquid hydrogen to enter it. Fuel was ignited and clouds of smoke forcefully burst outside. Inside of the rocket was shaking with huge vibrations, cosmonauts were sitting as on a volcano. The rocket with tremendous force had been lifted and flew into space accelerating, entering orbital spaceflight, until it reached escape velocity at about eleven kilometers per second. There is no distinction between top and bottom and weightlessness presented challenges to their organisms: cardio-vascular, inner ears’ pains, weakness of psyche and severe illusions…
