Bea. Hello and welcome to the Space Policy Edition of Planetary Radio,

the monthly show, where we explore the politics

and processes behind space exploration.

I'm Casey Dreyer, the Chief of Space Policy here at the Planetary Society.

This month we're going to look at the other presidential candidate and their potential

space policy, Kamala Harris.

Our guest to explore this topic is Lori Garver, who is the deputy administrator of

NASA under the Obama administration.

During her tenure at NASA, Lori Garver was a strong proponent of things like commercial space

partnerships to lower the cost to orbit and fiercely defended the commercial crew and

cargo initiatives. She is also the author of the book, which I recommend. Commercial Crew and Cargo Initiatives.

She is also the author of the book, which I recommend,

Escaping Gravity, My Quest to Transform NASA

and Launch a New Space Age.

Before she joins us, though, I want to briefly mention that the Planetary Society, which produces this show,

is an independent member-supported organization.

This show and all of the other work that we do happens because of those of you who become members
