In the history of technology, Aleksandr Lazutkin is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Aleksandr Lazutkin as Russian cosmonaut.
Aleksandr Lazutkin was born at Moscow in 1957. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Moscow Aviation Institute.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as engineer, astronaut and flight engineer.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Russian Federation, Medal "For Merit in Space Exploration" and Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation.
That the work was done from Russia matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Aleksandr Lazutkin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
