Maurizio Cheli

Italian astronaut

Maurizio Cheli belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Maurizio Cheli as Italian astronaut.

Maurizio Cheli was born at Zocca in 1959. His recorded nationality is Italy. He was educated at University of Houston and Sapienza University of Rome.

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 and aircraft pilot.

His affiliations include European Space Agency and Italian Space Agency.

Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.

The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

That the work was done from Italy matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

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