CRY BABY CRY
COLUMBUS meets ARMSTRONG
The moon landing is a dream of the future and Laika still roams the streets of Moscow - America in the 50s. A village. Bullied by a neighbor and bored with his job at the adventure travel agency, Foster seeks relief in his secret cabinet. He dreams of the peace and infinity of space and designs the Super Intelligent Space Ship - “SISS”.
Unfortunately the neighbor's spying eye finds Fosters invention and wants a piece of the fame: he calls the press. Suddenly he is front page of the news and a sell out to his travel agents: Travel into Space! They send Foster into space as the first living thing and the first space tourist. He should pin the flag of tourism into foreign soil. Foster enters the small spaceship … 3-2-1 - What if Columbus had gone to Mars instead of America?
