PDF-(EBOOK)-Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space Age

Former NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver recounts how she took on the greed and corrupt politics of the US space program inciting the expansion of space exploration into the private sector and paving the way for space pirates like Jeff Bezos Richard Branson and Elon MuskWhen she rose to secondincommand at NASA Lori Garver was determined to do more than just break a glass ceiling She set out to break the selfinterested system of governmentcontrolled space exploration run by Congress the aerospace industry entrenched bureaucrats and heroastronauts trying to protect their own profits and mythologyIn Escaping Gravity Garver recounts her fight for change from inside the space agency and how it put her in the crosshairs of established interests who viewed her as a threat to the trilliondollar government contracting system that has centralized power in the United States since World War II Garvers hardwon victories paved the way for a new era of transcendental change at NASA in collaboration with her space pirates Elon Musk Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson Working to unleash the potential of these visionaries Garver pried spaceflight from the tight grip and the aerospacemilitary industrial complex and helped create a more peaceful inclusive and meaningful space ageIncluding previously unpublished conversations and insights on the epic battles that have transitioned space access to private interests for a fraction of the cost of previous NASA programs Escaping Gravity offers a blueprint for how to drive productive and meaningful government change.

Designed between 1969 and 1972 and first flown into space in 1981, the NASA Shuttle will have flown almost 140 missions by the time it is retired in 2010. David Baker describes the origin of the reusable launch vehicle concept during the 1960s, its evolution into a viable flying machine in the early 1970s, and its subsequent design, engineering, construction and operation. The Shuttle\'s internal layout and systems are explained, including the operation of life support, electrical power production, cooling, propulsion, flight control, communications, land and avionics systems. Take a tour of the universe with this breathtaking collection of photographs from the archives of NASA. Astonishing images of Earth from above, the phenomena of our solar system, and the celestial bodies of deep space will captivate readers and photography lovers with an interest in science, astronomy, and the great beyond. Each extraordinary photograph from the legendary space agency is paired with explanatory text that contextualizes its place in the cosmic ballet of planets, stars, dust, and matter—from Earth\'s limb to solar flares, the Jellyfish Nebula to Pandora\'s Cluster. Featuring a preface by Bill Nye, this engaging volume offers up-close views of our remarkable cosmos, and sparks wonder at the marvels of Earth and space. This magnificent volume offers a rich visual tour of the planets in our solar system. More than 200 breathtaking photographs from the archives of NASA are paired with extended captions detailing the science behind some of our cosmic neighborhood\'s most extraordinary phenomena. Images of newly discovered areas of Jupiter, fiery volcanoes on Venus, and many more reveal the astronomical marvels of space in engrossing detail. Anyone with an interest in science, astronomy, and the mysteries of the universe will delight in this awe-inspiring guide to the wonders of the solar system.
