Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie

American astronaut

Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie as American astronaut.

Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie was born at Lake Charles in 1957. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at University of Tennessee and United States Naval Test Pilot School.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as military officer and astronaut.

His affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

His work was formally recognised with the Distinguished Flying Cross, Legionnaire of Legion of Merit and Air Medal.

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.

Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
