The most telling detail comes at the end
of the film: where the book left us with
the desperate plea of the Martian princess
echoing through space, the film lays the
entire adventure to the account of dreams,
and the engineer Loss soberly renounces
all these fiddlesticks of space. « Real work
awaits us » Whereby he once more confirms
that writers read the future more clearly than
politicians, The film predicted Stakhanov;
the book had prophesied Gagarin.

« Enough dreaming, real work awaits us all… »
(Loss burns the plans for
his chimerical spacecraft)
