action
Two friends, who have known each other since early childhood and also share a love of space travel, take part in a month-long training course for cosmonauts , where they are given the numbers 1203 and 1204. Both are the best in their group, although they are always on par in their performance. They share a room, eat together and play chess against each other. In the evenings they read together in the book We Can't Live Without Cosmos , which they have studied since early childhood.
At the end of the training, both are the only candidates for deployment in space. The man with number 1203 can eventually board while 1204 remains on earth as a substitute. After a short time in space, the spaceship had an accident and 1203 died. His friend collapses and is brought back to his rest room in his spacesuit. A short time later, a new trainee took the bed of 1203. Since 1204 appears to be rigid, but the spacesuit cannot be opened either, the suit is x-rayed. It turns out that 1204 in a suit rolled up protectively. A little later, the supervisors see him standing on the launch pad and jumping into the air - 1204 is now immobilized in a suit with a straitjacket . At night, the supervisors find that the suit is empty. The outline of a person can be seen in the ceiling: 1204 jumped through the ceiling into space. You can finally see him floating in space until an astronaut arm comes into view and in 1204 grabs his arm.
