Linda M. Godwin belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Linda M. Godwin as American astronaut.
Linda M. Godwin was born at Cape Girardeau in 1952. Her recorded nationality is the United States. She was educated at University of Missouri and Southeast Missouri State University.
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.
Her affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration and University of Missouri.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
Her work was formally recognised with the 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.
Linda M. Godwin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
