Donald R. McMonagle

American astronaut

Donald R. McMonagle belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Donald R. McMonagle as American astronaut.

Donald R. McMonagle was born at Flint in 1952. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at University of Michigan and U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School.

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

Donald R. McMonagle is described as military officer, astronaut and aircraft pilot.

His affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

His work was formally recognised with the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal and NASA Distinguished Service 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.

Donald R. McMonagle is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
