"Man must accept the challenge of the Universe" - says engineer Anatoly Yunitskiy, who proposed the project of a General Planetary Vehicle

The greatest inventor Thomas Edison obtained 1093 patents. The result of the American inventor is unlikely to be surpassed - the search of new paths in science and technology became very complicated by now. In comparison with the achievement of Edison, the number of registered inventions by Anatoly Yunitskiy seems insignificant, he has 23 of them. However, as they say, Yunitskiy has the entire life ahead of him.

Today Anatoly Yunitskiy is the guest of the "Club of interesting meetings". His project of the General Planetary Vehicle (GPV) has attracted the attention both in the country and abroad in recent years. Many people think it is unreal, fantastic. However, the leading engineer for the inventions of the Institute of mechanics for metal polymer systems at the Byelorussian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Yunitskiy holds the contrary opinion. In a letter sent to the consultant of the journal "Inventor and rationalizer" Mr. Shcherbakov, he writes: "The space is expansive, limitless, but the Earth is small and fragile. And what it will become in the future - a blooming garden with a ring of the vehicle and cosmic industrial necklace or a dirty, uninhabitable planet, - is already being set today. I firmly believe that the project proposed by me can be implemented in the future. My confidence is justified by a sound analysis and mathematical calculations"...

What is the General Planetary Vehicle, for what purposes is it intended? This is the subject of today's story called "Man must accept the challenge of the Universe" (in Russian), published in the Gomel newspaper "Za Vysokoye Kachestvo" on August 5, 1983.
