In the capital of the South Urals, scientific knowledge has been promoting the third year. This time the guest of the event was the commander of three international crews, astronaut Alexander Volkov. Hero of the USSR spent away from Earth for a whole year. Twice worked in outer space. Now he is 66 years.
ON THE MOON THERE IS AN OIL AND GAS SUBSTITUTE
– I have already given lectures on space in Tunisia, France, Germany, England, America. In Russia, they invited to a university for the first time, – the guest says smiling. – Today I will tell students how it goes day at the orbital station and show them my film.
– And tell us what it feels like to live in space?
– A business trip lasts six months. The day is scheduled in minutes You can’t keep up with the schedule. Rise at eight in the morning Moscow time time. We do physical exercises twice a day. If not train in zero gravity, terrestrial gravity will kill you. We plow for an hour on a treadmill and the same amount on a stationary bike. We use special rubber shock absorbers – fix their torso and ankles. The pressure is like sitting on my shoulders a man of my weight, and I’m running. So I milk my ten kilometers.
– What can you say about the future of astronautics? Fly to Mars?
– To great joy, the state began to allocate money to us. we we can now conduct experiments and prepare new flights. IN Roscosmos plans – the Moon and Mars. On our natural satellite there is water and Ge3 (helium-three), which can replace oil and gas. On the Red Planet, I think, we will go no earlier than 2035.

– Alexander Alexandrovich, do aliens exist?
– Of course! But not in our galaxy, – surprisingly convinced meets the astronaut. And then the organizers pick him up meeting and lead me away in an unknown direction.
“Wait,” I scream after the departing legend. – And about aliens – where does such confidence come from?
But Volkov is already far away. I hope to continue this topic in the next time. In the meantime, take a walk on the stands of the festival.
Dances of Robots
In the foyer of the theater building Palace of technical creativity.
A little boy sits at a laptop and makes a small cyborg do different tricks – squat, push up, do twine. Suddenly the program crashed, the robot ran and hit about wall, continuing to sort out the legs. Child holds frantically the dodging miracle of technology, and he laughs.

The price of such robots can reach up to 70 thousand rubles. A photo: Andrey ABRAMOV
“The schoolchildren themselves collected the bio-loid from Lego,” he told us. Director of the Youth Technical Creativity House Vladislav Halamov, – The program was written for him themselves too. This is not at all difficult. Approximately how to download SIMS 4
LIZARD AND BLACK POWDER!
The main part of the exhibition is the presentation of faculties of the ChelSU. Students approached her creatively. Chemists dressed up in fakirs, smeared their faces with soot and set fire to some black desk powder. A light was visible in a heap of substance, but the table did not burn. No one hesitated to come close …
Biologists gave everyone to touch a half-meter lizard. Such a “dinosaur” lies on the student’s hands and does not blow into the mustache.

“Will you dissect her?”
– What for?! We study her habits, reflexes. Total 5,900 in the world species of lizards.
– And what is this “moonshine still”? – I ask the guys from Faculty of Physics.
– This is an incubator!
– Why is it needed?
– Well, with it you can put experiments. Now if you need heat the air – the device will help.
– And for what scientific purposes do you have Nyusha from “Smesharikov”?
– This is our talisman. Cheerful and funny, like a subject of physics!
