Premiere Alexander Romanov, a fine, hearty, old man, stepped out of
his limousine.
Everything was in ship-shape order.
Scientists were checking the equipment for last minute changes.
Engineers were preparing the docks.
The brave soldiers marched up the craft.
The experiment was going all in order, as he walked up to Lieutenant Sophia.
"Aaah, Comrade Lieutenant, how is comrade general doing ?"
"Fine sir. He's still slightly nervous, but, he is prepared."
"So, you ready, yes ?"
"Yes, Comrade Premiere."
Premiere then went up to meet the young general, for the last time.
~
"So, dear boy! You amaze me really ! To think that my own nephew, walking like little baby, could defeat traitor Yuri, conquer world, and now, colonize space !"
"Da. I just tried."
The Premiere smile broadly, and gave a hearty laugh.
"A pity I never married. I would like to have a son, but, in you, I have a son proud of I can be !"
Then, the Premiere put on a solemn face.
"You are going off into deep space, to bring glory to Mother Russia! Do not fail Uncle Romanov, young Igor !"
"Yes, I won't !"
The Premier then gave the young general a very tight hug, like that of a bear's.
"Goodbye, my sweet bear cub !"
"Goodbye, Uncle !"
The General then walked off, stepped onto the platform, along with his wife, Zophia, and the many great space cadets that were to be Russia's future.

"Countdown to Launch in 10..."

"Initiating lift off......"
As great, thunderous fireworks projected a mighty, lonesome, but gallant ark unto space, a host of hopeful, and brave people gave out their valiant approval of the news at hand.
"MARX IS IN LIFTOFF!
And with that, a great roar of applause was generated, and hundreds of men, women, and children, from all over the world cried out in joy and applause.
Premier Romanov, at the microphone shouted:
"All hail Marx !"
"HAIL!"
Hail from Russia, Hail from America, Hail from Czechoslovakia, Hail from Papua New Guinea, Communism had reached no pinnacle, nor had Marx found a greater monument to his name.
The giant craft rocketed out of Earth's atmosphere, as Romanov muttered, in a small, but dignified, voice.
"One giant leap, for Soviet people."

"Every ounce of it. That fuel is heck of a lot of importance, esp. for this trip."
"Well then, good luck General."
"Well then, good luck General."
"Thanks sir. Boy, this is going to be one long trip."
