The major problem of Russian technology is was bureaucracy. Also, old-fashion military tradition makes sometimes the to confess that the innovation team has made mistakes. This means, that if there were some mistakes in equipment,  were not dared to tell the leaders of the project. This caused the death of some cosmonauts, and at least one case the reason, why the parachute have not the reason was that the box of the parachute was too big in its space. And that caused the death of cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov (1927-1967), who crashed on the ground with 250 kilometers per hour in 1967.

There were some things, what caused the rumors that Komarov was murdered. First was that this man claimed to curse the Soviet leaders while dropping, and sometimes somebody has been asked, could Komarov feel or notice that the parachute was not open, or did somebody in control center told that to Komarov? But this kind of things are rumors, what are was not sent about many historical accidents. The case of Komarov made many people think that "how many cosmonauts were lost in space?". There are many stories in Russia, that some of those men, who sent to the sky ever returned. But when we are thinking about Soyuz program, we must notice that over 300 technical failures in one capsule Soyuz 7K-OK were not very good achievement from those engineers.

And of course, the handling of the parachute was not like, what it should be. When Komarov went to capsule he said, that he was not want to risk Yuri Gagarin's (1934-1968) life. In that mission, Gagarin was as backup crew. But in this case, I must ask did Komarov afraid because of the life of Gagarin? And then the parachute failed in the last moments of that flight. There is one remarkable thing: also Gagarin died in the airplane accident during routine mission short after Komarov's death.

(1927-1967)

His MiG fighter was hit the ground in the middle of routine maneuver and Gagarin didn't send any emergency call, and there were rumors that this cosmonaut committed suicide in 1968. But this sad accident of Komarov is was the example of the dangers of authoritarian command in engineering work. The engineers are humans, who make mistakes. And if they don’t dare to tell that there are problems with production, the results will be sooner or later devastating. This is the reason, why the engineering team must talk freely and also dare to confess that they are made mistakes without fear of divorce or execution.

The most dangerous situation would be that somebody is hiding some errors in the product. And the Russian authoritative government, what would give punishments very easily would cause the situation, where rumors of assassinations keep the mouth shut by was errors like wrong size parachute because that would make the product the production slower, and the timetables would not match. This might cause the death of Komarov, and the death of this man was the accident, what was the reason for many mistakes in the process, where parachute of the Soyuz one was ordered. And only one question stays on the air: why that parachute was not denied and the spacecraft staff sends it back to the factory? And why the size of the room of parachute was not sent to the factory? Those questions still remain above Soyuz 1.

What is the difference between Fixed mindset and Growth mindset?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

30 years ago Dr. Carol Dweck and her students thought about the attitude of failure. And during this workshop, they created two kinds of mindsets, what will tell what is the attitude of failure. They created two ways or routes to handle situations, that some work or mission would be some kind failure. Those routes were fixed and growth mindset, what might first look like the same thing, but they are the totally different way to think.


The fixed mindset is the way to think that every affection of the people is stable. When somebody is intelligent, this would continue end of this person’s life. Those persons who have fixed mindset think that when they are graduated from some university or another educational school, they would be like some statues or lighthouses in the sea.


They think that they are only ones, who have those skills, and all the world stands on their shoulder. The problem of that attitude is that those persons think, that everybody is like they are. The skills what they are learned are stable. And this is the wrong way to think. If we are thinking about the skills like programming languages, people might forget them, if they do something else in their career. They would not need to learn anything new, and those people think, that they would not change or they cannot modify their skills or affections.


So for those persons, the attitude of failure is absolutely negative. And that would be stressful for some people. If the people who have fixed mindset has the attitude, that if the person fails, the new one would get to the place immediately. And the person who made the failure must not let to fix their errors. This is, of course, the extreme example of that attitude. At the beginning of next parts of the text, I must say that the grown mindset is not always positive, and if the person is thin, while being young, and stops physical education, would the results be something, what this person doesn’t want.


Grown mindset means that the persons think that failure is meant for growing person. In this way to think the most important thing is that people believe that every affection in the personality can modify by the personal self. If the leading way to think in the person’s head is that if the person fails something, can this person get the needed skills from somewhere, and for that kind of person failures make them stronger.


And here I mean stronger by any means. If the person would kick off the job because this person would not have skills in the job, would the person who has grown mindset ask for courses, where can get needed skills. The term grown mindset would mean also, that the person would be little bit fat, what makes the social problem, but the person would modify the personal body and then get social acceptance. In this case, the person would modify the affection, that he or she would not like.


In the grown mindset would the person realize that everything in the life is the big picture. The good skills are not stable. And the person must update the skills of anything. But if the healthiness of the person is bad, the work would change as hell by other reasons. Even the best programming skills would not make the person productive if that programmer has cardiac problems. Or if the person is unhappy, the work doesn’t advance. The happiness in home and workplace are the best combination, what the employer can imagine. But if the person afraid to go to work, would that cause, that all projects would fail. Also, the pressure at home causes problems in everywhere. Happiness increases productivity.
