Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space Age

Escaping Gravity is a first-hand account of how a handful of revolutionaries paved the way for a new era of transcendental change at NASA. From inside the space agency, Garver collaborated with key players such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and President Obama to usher in a more peaceful, inclusive and meaningful space age. Garver’s effort put her in the cross-hairs of established interests who viewed her as a threat to the trillion-dollar government contracting system that has centralized power in the United States since WWII.
