Description
After million of years of lonely existence, people on Earth were greeted by a spacecraft sent by super-intelligent beings somewhere in the universe. This fictional account is based on recent advances in rocket and space technology, astronomy, communications and brain research.
After million of years of lonely existence, people on Earth were greeted by a spacecraft sent by super-intelligent beings somewhere in the universe. The space craft - named Trivikrama by the Earthlings - made strange demands. It eventually proved a blessing to the people of the world. What were the demands and how did scientists on Earth react? The high drama in space showed that the adventures of the alien spacecraft had really been pre-programmed by some superior intelligence.
This fictional account is based on recent advances in rocket and space technology, astronomy, communications and brain research. While the location of the telescopes and the rocket launching center as well as the Yendadi tribe are real, the characters in the story and the tribe's role in it are imaginary.
