Dominic A. Antonelli

Antonelli is the sort of resume that still gives me chills: military officer, engineer, and finally NASA astronaut. As a kid I idolized people who left the planet, so a path like his lands straight in that old dream. What I find compelling is the layering of qualities it demands, the engineer's precision, the officer's nerve, the discipline to be trusted with a spacecraft. Raised across Indiana and North Carolina and a father of two, he chased the edge of the sky while keeping a family grounded below. That balance of risk and responsibility is what I genuinely admire.
