Talk:Vitaliy Zholobov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other sites mention that Zholobov became psychotic during the Soyuz 21 mission.
The problem has happened on other scientific expeditions.
During the Belgian Polar Expedition of 1898/99 eighteen men began to go insane when the Belgica was trapped in polar ice for months.
The Belgica was a converted whaler and used a single-room arrangement for the scientists to live and work.
A problem was discovered with human physiology in the 1960's when knowledge workers began having mental breaks while using the first close-spaced office workstations. The cubicle solved that problem by 1968.
The single-room arrangement allows occupants to create the special circumstances that caused the 1960's discovery.
When astronauts are in a small space station cabins they have duties that parallel knowledge work but do not have Cubicle Level Protection.
The Soyuz 21 is the first case of a mental break in orbit.
