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

de 洛瑞．加弗, Lori Garver ...

Traducido por 葉文欽 ...

她，以堅定的意志與勇氣，挑戰美國太空計畫盤根錯節的舊勢力。她，以非凡的洞見與信心，帶領NASA轉型，航向商業太空新紀元。《挑戰引力》是美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）前副署長洛瑞‧加弗的回憶錄，詳述了少數革命者如何克服政治任用和威脅太空機構的官僚主義。SpaceX、藍色起源、維珍銀河以及其他商業太空計畫的成功，都是由一群被加弗稱為「太空海盜」的人，經過數十年的奮鬥所實現的。他們對NASA轉型的追求讓加弗成為了國會、航太工業和太空英雄瞄準的目標，這些勢力試圖在一直掌權的體系中保護自己的利益和神話。作為歐巴馬總統的NASA過渡團隊負責人和該機構的第二把手，在私營部門的能力和資源開始成熟之際，加弗推動了政策和資金，以促進民間太空產業的商業競爭。即便屢遭挫折與攻擊，她仍決心提供更有價值的計畫，而今證明，這些努力促進了更高的效率和更大的進步。加弗以第一手證言，披露了NASA長久以來的僵化與陋習 ...
