In the history of technology, Nie Haisheng is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Nie Haisheng as Chinese astronaut.
Nie Haisheng was born at Zaoyang City in 1964. His recorded nationality is People's Republic of China. He was educated at PLA Air Force Aviation University.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
He worked as astronaut and fighter pilot.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Spaceflight Exploit Medal and August 1 Medal.
That the work was done from People's Republic of China matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Nie Haisheng is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
