Bonnie J. Dunbar belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Bonnie J. Dunbar as American engineer and astronaut.
Bonnie J. Dunbar was born at Sunnyside in 1949. Her recorded nationality is the United States. She was educated at University of Washington and University of Houston.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives her occupations as astronaut and engineer.
Her affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - United States Astronaut Hall of Fame and Women in Technology Hall of Fame (2000).
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Bonnie J. Dunbar is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
