SERGEI KOROLEV AND VALENTIN GLUSHKO Both Korolev and Glushko were top secret personas and either name was known to a very limited circle. And yet Glushko knew that when someone said in public “Chief In 1947 Glushko became Head and Chief Engineer of OKB-456, the main organization Engineer of the Soviet space and rocket systems” they meant Korolev and not him. working on developing powerful rocket engines, based at the site of a former aviation Glushko thought that unfair, since no such position existed.

People were afraid of his dictator's manners and cian Glushko was a perfect match for Academician Korolev and had contributed no so his walk up the career ladder was slow. However, Korolev was aiming for total less to the victories of the Soviet space program. Glushko believed that Korolev's part independence and moved ahead crashing the absurd, in his opinion, structure of NII. was artificially exaggerated. Korolev knew that Glushko so believed.

However, Glushko did that by using a cold stare and ironclad logic whereas and the exorbitant ambition turned the so far hidden confrontation insurmountable. Korolev employed a lot of cursing. Both were self-sufficient and did not tolerate Korolev demanded full obedience from Glushko as he did from everyone else and competition or need friends. The total secrecy of their work did not allow for saying Glushko refused to be like everyone else. The personal conflict between the two most their names in vain and gave them and everything they did an aura of mysterious important leaders of the space exploration quickly became obvious.

They both enjoyed that aura and were rapidly Glushko exchanged biting messages, presumably strictly confined to technical issues, going two parallel ways impersonating the two pillars of the new and mysterious and the copies were mailed to the Council of Ministers, to the Central Committee of science and technology. They did not recognize any authority other than themselves the Party, and to Nikita Khrushchev himself. Korolev and Glushko openly fought for and did not tolerate any competition, only racing each other. The common people, power and fame. The formal reason for the argument was the fuel for N1. Korolev who were not even allowed to know the names of the Great Ones, learned about insisted on using liquid oxygen and kerosene and Glushko promoted nitrogen their achievements from the triumphant broadcasts of the Moscow radio.

THE PULSE OF LONG ISLAND PAGE 15 CALL FOR IEEE SENIOR and LIFE MEMBERS
You’ve Always Set Yourself Apart. Now it’s Time to make it Official. Nominate Yourself to become a... IEEE SENIOR MEMBER
Being elevated to senior member recognizes people who have moved beyond entry-level work in their careers. It also encourages them to engage more broadly with engineers and other technical professionals in companies and universities outside their own. To be eligible for senior member status, members must have worked in a professional capacity in a technical field for at least 10 years. Educational experience is partially credited toward that time. Nominees must also have professional references from three IEEE senior members, Fellows, or honorary members. If you’re interested in elevation, you don’t have to wait to be nominated—you can nominate yourself.
