  1. 1. Escaping Gravity

    My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New American Space Agency

    A candid memoir and policy chronicle that follows a lifelong fascination with space into a career in Washington, where the author fights entrenched bureaucracies and political battles to reshape NASA’s priorities; blending personal stories with insider accounts, it describes the struggle to shift human spaceflight away from sole government control toward partnerships with commercial providers, the controversy over legacy programs, and the effort to open a new era of innovation and access to space while reflecting on leadership, compromise, and the costs of change.
