Eugene H. Trinh made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Eugene H. Trinh as Vietnamese-American astronaut.
Eugene H. Trinh was born at Ho Chi Minh City in 1950. His recorded nationality is Vietnam. He was educated at Yale University and Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as astronaut, chemist and biochemist.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
Working from Vietnam shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
