This is a team project case memo writing. However, I only need to get my part done. My part is to convert what is highlighted with red into an essay format. It is written in a detailed outline format, but you need to convert it into an essay format. And in order to do that, you need to read the whole attachment to understand the basic idea of what the case is about (the attachment has notes about the case memo) I will copy and paste my part of outline that has to be converted into an essay format:
• Fundamental Attribution Error: A large issue with the third mission was that relations were strained between the scientists and Nasa from the start. After the puke situation, Nasa related that the Astronauts were curt and much ruder in their communications. Nasa attributed many of their shortcomings to their attitudes and mentalities towards the whole mission. They thought they just whined and complained about everything. But the fact remains that the whole mission was very faulty. The astronauts were undertrained from the start, and were then put into a mission where they were continuously rushed and underprepared. The space station itself was confusing and hard to navigate, with one of the flight surgeons even saying that the whole thing was thrown together without the needs and physical limitations of the astronauts being kept in mind. Add in the fact that the astronauts from the previous mission had left the place a mess and it’s no wonder that the participants of the Skylab 3 mission were consistently angry and upset. But instead of seeing all of these large external reasons for the astronaut’s distress, Nasa just attributed it to internal reasons, such as “hostility due to isolation”. They didn’t listen to the complaints of the astronauts and so ensured that they would never be able to communicate with them in the way the mission required. What further proves that the astronaut’s were more influenced by external issues was that the group was able to get along with each other very well. Even better than the participants of Skylab 2.
• Attribution Theory: A large reason why Nasa may have attributed many of the astronaut’s mistakes to internal reasons is that they judged Skylab 3 relative to Skylab 2. They saw that Skylab 2 had performed extremely well, and when Skylab 3 wasn’t they began to force them to speed up their efforts. What they didn’t take into account was that the two missions were very separate situations. Skylab 2 had a well trained crew of disciplined marines that knew each other and the original Skylab crew well allowing them to work cohesively and understand what they were getting into. They knew what their mission was and knew their time constraints. Skylab 3 on the other hand was made up of an entirely different set of crew members. The astronauts had never been to space and were completely unprepared for what the mission entailed.
