About the book: year / Mars is a lifeless dead planet. And how many hopes the first cosmonauts pinned on it... Pirx is not a big fan of these places, but his service obliges him to be here. He was about to leave the planet when he learned that a new rocket was flying towards the planet, a new cargo giant with a rest mass exceeding 100 thousand tons and would land on Mars, at the only station. Pirx decided to stay. Many observers gathered, including Pirx. The rocket began to land, switching to boron-hydrogen thrust. But then she suddenly began to bend over and fell down with all her might. Who is to blame for this tragedy? © Paf “Tales of the Pilot Pirx” - 10 - Ananke / Ananke [= Ananke (Pirx on Mars)] (1971)
