'We have eliminated sick gecko individuals. And the universe has no room for aggressive, agitated children. '

'In fact, gecko does not need a special training mode because of its own characteristics. It adapts very well to the surroundings and surroundings'.

'Even when challenged in non-weight conditions, constantly changing their gravitational pull, they are still very unconcerned, not caring where to run - crawling on the floor, climbing to the wall or ceiling' .
