meeting.

- We do not have much time. Tell the staff from the station

on Jupiter that the asteroid passes at high speed right past
them. Let them take the necessary measures.

Professor Joseph took the floor.

- I don’t think it’s a good idea because if we use that

method to block the asteroid, an ecological disaster can
be triggered in that part of the cosmos. I think the method

of thawing is better and e should do it in the vicinity of the
station XX3. It is a safer place.

Professor Medov commented.

- I agree with Joseph. That’s the best way to deal with this

problem. Ecology must be considered. Every part of the
Solar system is very important to us and to our posterity.

Our goal and task should be to preserve the environment.

- I see. You are right. Let’s get down to business.

A highly developed, well organized society will bring about

prosperity to the whole world. The complexes of inferiority

and superiority will disappear.
