In the history of technology, Edward G. Gibson is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Edward G. Gibson as American astronaut.
Edward G. Gibson was born at Buffalo in 1936. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at California Institute of Technology and University of Rochester.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as astronaut, engineer and physicist.
His affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration and California Institute of Technology.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
Recognition followed: United States Astronaut Hall of Fame.
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.
