Lori Garver – Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space AgeAired Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTHow have women contributed to the U.S. space program and how were they treated by their male colleagues?My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Lori Garver, is former NASA Deputy Administrator. She was one of a handful of revolutionaries that managed to outmaneuver the system of political patronage, bureaucracy and male domination that threatened the space agency and the future of human spaceflight. From inside NASA, Garver drove changes to policies and programs that enabled competition, challenging the expensive and ineffective traditional systems at the exact time the capabilities and resources of the private sector began to mature. Her website is https://www.lorigarver.com/, and she joins me this week to share her experiences and new book, Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space Age.Connect with Victor Fuhrman at http://victorthev
