Lori Garver - Fmr Deputy Administrator of NASA, Best-Selling Author "Escaping Gravity"

Lori is a true pioneer in the world of space exploration - a woman in a man's world pushing new agendas to revamp NASA and establish a new space age - that were often not welcome at NASA. Lori spearheaded private sector competition to drive down costs at NASA for a variety of space projects and her efforts were met with great consternation and push back. In talking about her new book, hear how Lori overcame the naysayers and fulfilled her vision to revamp NASA on many levels.  Lori describes how she would often be dismissed simply because she was a woman and how she overcame those biases to be a true trailblazer in the male dominated world of NASA. This is an amazing insiders, rarely heard look at not just how NASA works AND an amazing journey of a brave woman who shook up NASA and pioneered a place for women at the highest levels of the space agency.
