“Through thorns to the stars” said Seneca?

By catchphrase“through thorns to the stars” is considered the ancient Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (4 BC - 65 AD). Naturally, according to the laws of the Internet, everyone refers to him and his supposed composition “Furious Hercules,” although there is no such thing among the tragedies written by Seneca

“Medea” (“L. Annaei Senecae Medea”);
“Phaedra” (“L. Annaei Senecae Phaedra”);
"Oedipus" ("L. Annaei Senecae Oedipus");
“Phoenicians” (“L. Annaei Senecae phoenissae”);
“Hercules in Madness” (“L. Annaei Senecae Hercules furens”)
“Hercules on Eta” (“L. Annaei Senecae Hercules”);
"Fiest" ("L. Annaei Senecae Fiest");
“The Trojan Women” (“L. Annaei Senecae troades”);
"Agamemnon" ("L. Annaei Senecae Agamemnon")

And in “Hercules...”, if you look at Wikipedia (), there is no such phrase, so the authorship and origin catchphrase unknown for certain

— “One unfortunate man, Dorn, retained a feeling of shame in his soul and, when I was subsequently appointed chief prosecutor, he came running to congratulate me, joyfully shaking my hands and nervously repeating as a “novelist”: “per aspera ad astra, per aspera ad astra!” (A.F. Koni. “Memories of the case of Vera Zasulich”)

Per aspera ad astra

sometimes Per ardua ad astra

"Through hardship to the stars"; through difficulties to a high goal.

Wed Seneca, Furious Hercules, 441: Non est ad astra mollis e terris via “The path from the earth to the stars is not smooth.”

In the person of the "Kölnische Zeitung" we have hitherto revered, if not the "organ of the Rhineland Cape Lire, then the "Rhenish notice sheet." We considered mainly its "political editorials" as a wise and refined means of instilling in the reader an aversion to politics, so that he would be all the more passionate about in the full of vital freshness, entrepreneurially ebullient, sometimes exquisitely piquant realm of announcements; so that here too he follows the rule: per aspera ad astra, through politics to the oysters. The play on words in this phrase is based on the consonance of the Latin word "astra" - the star of the German "auster" - oyster. - ] (K. Marx, Editorial in No. 179 of the Kölnische Zeitung.)

Who can doubt that now, with such development of technology, the persistence of mankind will lead it to self-destruction? This is the inevitable way out of all recent events. "Per ardua ad astra" - "under the hail of blows we will see the stars." [ Error in Russian translation. Needed: Through difficulties - to the stars. - ] (John Galsworthy, The White Ape.)

□ Among other achievements of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kozyrev, the discovery of volcanism on the Moon stands out. Before this, the Moon was considered a dead body, but Kozyrev proved that it was hot, justifying the similarity of the tectonics of the Earth and its faithful satellite. American scientists who confirmed this discovery of the Soviet astronomer presented Nikolai Alexandrovich with a gold medal from the US Astronautical Academy with the wonderful motto “Through thorns - to the stars!” Besides Kozyrev, only Gagarin was awarded this award... (Lev Sidorovsky. Stars and thorns.)

...Finally, the business was over, but Brad Lucien froze at the door, as if not daring to leave the office of his longtime friend and part-time boss, Alfred Gem.
- Brad? Something else?
- I'm not at work. I... I need someone else's opinion.
- Of course. Have a seat... I'm your friend. But it would be better if you visited a professional psychologist.
- If he could hypothetically help me, I would go to him.
- Yes, you are serious! Well, I have all your attention.
Brad sighed sadly and began the story.

“On New Year’s Eve, my friend from Russia called me on Skype... Who worked with me, also a physicist, remember? He also unexpectedly left the USA, exactly on... December 21, in short. Yes, Vorobyov, he’s the one. So, New Year's Eve, the 30th or 31st. At first he asked how work was, we hadn't seen each other, and that was already strange... And then he started saying, hehe... completely strange things.
He asked: “Do you remember the last project we worked on?” We never completed it, it’s just that all the people involved in it left at once... Everything seemed so natural then... Well, yes, they admitted that theory and practice do not agree - but I didn’t remember the working title, even the essence was difficult... It’s just a shame Very. I answered: “How can we not remember our failure?” He asked something like “Failure?” and looked at me like I was talking nonsense. Then he muttered something in Russian, cursed, it seemed... He asked: “What year do you think it is?” - "It's still 2012." - “I see. There was no failure. Look for your notes. You promised to keep them.”
He was already reaching out to turn off when I asked him: “What year do you think it is?” - "2014. In a month, 2015 will come." That's all, actually.
At first I also thought - well, sometimes it’s crazy, he’s a physicist, especially a Russian one. But... Sometimes, you know, a thought spins in your head? It spins, but you can’t catch it; or as if you’re trying to remember a dream... So this one stuck. I was still on vacation then... I wish I had somewhere to go and relax, but I sent my wife and children and began to search the house. I didn’t find anything then. And then, by chance, at the end of March... I found it.
I’m an atheist, you know... The Bible is only as a symbol, and as a keepsake from my parents. For some reason it was needed. I opened it - and all the pages in the middle were cut out, and there were notebooks, sheets with drawings, disks... On the notebook the number was 4, 2014... I then found all the bibles, there were already 6 of them, and in each, in each...
No, I never remembered what happened in those 2 years... But, judging by the records, it was not a failure, no... Even what was done before that, those few years of calculations and developments of our small group, turned out to be not at all failed. Based on them, it turns out, we built a prototype and made it work... But I don’t remember anything, just... Only for some reason I immediately believed that these 2 years had happened, and Vorobyov was not crazy...

Brad fell silent and began to clean his glasses. Putting them back on the bridge of his nose, he continued.
“After that, I tried to call him several times, but he never answered. I found the same prototype that was simply stored in a warehouse, I was even able to configure it correctly, but... nothing worked. At all. I recalculated almost all the formulas... I reconfigured the device... By the summer I was completely discouraged...
Brad chuckled.
- These were the most exhausting months of my life. But also the most... happiest, I would say. Did I say like? - like a memory of a forgotten dream - and it was closer than ever... And then Vorobyov himself called me... It was a week ago.
He looked down, but stubbornly continued.
- I... I feel embarrassed, but I considered it necessary. I recorded our conversation.
Brad put the recorder on the table.

Hello.
Vorobyov’s voice, as always, with cheerful notes, was impossible not to recognize.
- Hello. I…
- I hope you still found your notes? 6 or 7 pieces of notebooks, right? However, you Americans, by golly, are strange, driving yourselves into a dead end... You, probably like me, were just given a piece of paper to sign, but...
- I do not remember anything. I found the notes, but I don't remember anything.
- Most likely it was so. And knowing you, I can guess why you are sad. You found a prototype and tried it, and it didn’t work, right?
- So.
Brad's voice, even in the recording, sounded helpless.
- I've been digging for a long time... I cheated - my friends and I assembled another one... Eh, we assembled it even before the planes, and we were able to make it work!
- Airplanes? What are you talking about?
- I'll explain everything! It worked, but after the planes it stopped. Blind luck, no less, that we were able to identify the reason... It's simple - Asper! In Russia there were such versions about this! Per aspera to astera, I haven’t heard... You don’t remember, and even here in America they reacted to this more calmly. But in Russia…
- You are talking complete nonsense! Airplanes, Latin and damn conspiracy theories!
- He works. Now it works. We have opened the way to space. Finally we have opened the path to the stars!
- It seems to me that I myself am already going crazy!
- I understand... I fully understand that this seems nonsense, but... I know that you deliberately refused knowledge. You have a family... And I... When they sprayed this rubbish from airplanes, I survived. When my friends completely forgot about our project and, like everyone around them, began to prepare to celebrate the New Year 2013, I got angry. When I opened the book and discovered that everything had changed in it, when I went to a news site and found a completely different story, I was scared. Now I'm running. I'm not being persecuted, but they will be, I'm sure. I'm leaving for Siberia, if you're interested... Goodbye!

An oppressive silence reigned.
- Brad... I'm not a psychologist, but this is clearly insanity. I'm sorry, but psychos can be damn convincing. And... I've known you for a long time. You’re not crazy, Vorobyov is just your friend, and...
- I’ve known him for a long time too!
- Then go to a psychologist. Ours, the staff one. - Metallic commanding notes slipped into Gem’s voice. - I have no doubt that you are a sensible person. And I’ll take care of Vorobyov myself. I'll start right now. Okay, go ahead.

As soon as Lucien left his office, he sent an email with a video attached. The return visit took place at the end of the working day.
The newcomer greeted with a short nod and sat down like a proprietor in a chair opposite the table.
- Agent Elman. Unceremonious as always.
- Who would speak, employee Gem.
-Have you seen everything?
- Why do you think that this is not insanity, as you told the person sent to additional processing amnestics for Brad Lucien? - the agent said, emphasizing the second part of the phrase.
- Because I, like you, only underwent psychocorrection, and I quite remember what year it is! Brad's data is super accurate!
- Vorobyov, not Brad. Relax, an extra check never hurts. What's up with their "failed project"?
Gem nervously ran his fingers over his face.
- You yourself know how hard we worked... The last thing I was interested in was their project. And even before that... Very few people worked on the problem. And yes, in the long term, this could give Alternative option"path to the stars"
- So, did they succeed?
- I don't know. Although I’m surprised that all this passed me by. And especially the fact that they were recruited into the Foundation! I'm responsible for this, damn it!
- Yes, it was like that... They both refused. They forced them to sign the papers... We decided not to waste the amnestic, anyway, then we would water everyone en masse...
- Americans! Papers will not hold a Russian. Moreover, if such an opportunity presents itself...
- What kind of citizenship do you have... And what do you mean?
- Well, how... - Gem smiled dreamily. - Every Russian is an astronaut at heart...
Elman snorted angrily.
- Now look for these astronauts!
- Ours is not the only one?
- This began a long time ago... How the Foundation came into public... Mostly Russian scientists, both abroad and in Russia, suddenly, for no reason at all, take off and go... Actually, if the route is announced, it is always the same - to Siberia. And they disappear. Back then this was not monitored - there really was no time for that... But now... They became cautious - it was creepy. Vorobyov was never caught.
- Looks like a meme...
- One of the versions.
Gem and Elman sighed synchronously.
Gem scratched the back of his head.
- So to Siberia, you say? Maybe it's like an abbreviation, for example... Community of Researchers and Crazy Inventors of Russia?
- Who knows! Only somewhere they all gather... And, apparently, every second person is carrying some kind of artifact with them, and well, like Vorobyov - at least one case of the simultaneous disappearance of an object and a scientist has been registered!
- If I understand correctly, they will most likely want publicity.
- Already taken into account. In Russia, a campaign of gross distraction is in full swing - absurd laws, absurdity in the news... Revelations of these "Siberians" in best case scenario They will consider it the same thing - another duck.
- By the way, what’s the... - Gem clicked his tongue. - Asper? Aspera?
- One of the Foundation’s global defense projects. Anything larger requires clearance of at least level four, if not level five. And it gained wide popularity due to the fact that there was a scandal about - this project consumes a lot of energy, but in such emergency situations it can be turned off. Disabled. It turned out that he eats much more than anyone expected... That's all, in general. Well, yes, the Russians were the most raging, chanting in non-Latin the same “Per aspera to astera” or something like that, protesting against the resumption of the project. But since the Fund is not a democracy, it was resumed anyway, in mid-2014, if I’m not mistaken.

The agent sat with Gem for another half hour. Already at the door, Gem, shaking Elman’s hand goodbye, asked:
- It doesn’t give me peace... Why did Vorobiev refuse to join the ranks of the Foundation?
- Hmm... In particular, he said something about the availability of knowledge for everyone.
- They would tell us, give a couple of objects as examples... Damn it, he walked the streets himself! When they killed...
- What did he say there... Everything is beautiful, on the shelves. That the Foundation is slowing down progress. That, “by limiting the number of people who have access to complete knowledge, we ourselves are bringing our end closer”... “To stop a meteorite in time, you need many people, some of whom will calculate the trajectory, others will create a rocket...” Quite smart thoughts. He did not categorically accept the concept of the Foundation. An idealist... Or - who knows - he really believed that his equipment did not work because of asper... Although I do not exclude anything. In any case... the time of space has not yet come. Not for people. Not for the Foundation.

A month later, Gem went on a well-deserved vacation.
The last day before his vacation, he was especially excited, but joyful, and when asked by his colleagues, he joked that he was tired and it was time for him to retire...
At 6 pm he locked the office door and placed the keys in front of his secretary.
-Where are you going? - she asked.
- Through hardship to the stars! - he said in response in pure Russian.
- I'm sorry, what?
- My mother lives in Krasnoyarsk... While my father was alive, they lived in the USA, and then, out of nostalgia, she went to her homeland...
- Your mother is a brave woman...
- There is such a thing. Okay, goodbye!
- Goodbye!

That means he’s going to the stars... Through thorns... - muttered the secretary, slowly dialing the number...
