Plan Pavylyvych Fall 1971
Comrades! All our labors have come to their peak in these past months, as we make ready to do that which no man has gone before, an exemplary case of Zenobian progress which will be marked in the annals of human history for all eternity. The wishes, not only of every Zenobian, but of every human being must go with Comrades Klimuk and Brzeczyszczykiewicz as they make ready for their voyage to the dark side of the moon! Even then, their record-settings will not yet be completed, as they demonstrate the Zond capsule's
skip reentry capability, a new innovation designed to allow more time for a gentler reentry into the Earth's atmosphere from a high-velocity lunar return trajectory.
We do well to reflect that our work at Baikonurk proves international commienism's devotion to transcending the limits of nationality and boundaries, as Intercosmos cosmonauts such as Pollackistani comrade, Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz and our newly recruited Kerbalistani comrade Jebediah Kerman prove to all and sundry. So does the Zenobian Onion show its commitment to international spacepeace, unlike the warmongering Murcan degenerates and their fantasies of orbitbombing.
Closer to home, the Murcans will soon find their strutting and chest-beating about advances in their aerospace capabilities to be ill-timed. For the ZiG-105 spaceplane, so affectionately dubbed "Lapot" by men of all ranks, from the Comrade General Secretary himself on down, is now ready for its first manned flight test! Captain Karzanovski and his stalwart crew will be demonstrating the craft's nigh-immunity to the fires of reentry, and its ability to maneuver in the upper atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, on par with any Murcan aerospacecraft.
