There is a new race to a distant planet. The Russians want to be first to land a person on it, for the prestige and glory of being first.
But it's a risky mission. Knowing that the Chinese and the Americans are committed to their own landings, they embark on a daring one-way trip. By making the ship smaller and lighter Russia can beat the other countries to Arcadia.
This was particularly relevant given the recent discussion of mounting a one-way trip to land people on Mars. Thankfully that idea has been canceled.
Still...
The Russian mission takes the idea of making the ship lighter one step further and that gives the story a sinister, dark twist.
This was imaginatively thought out.
Loved it.
