KEY POINTS

SpaceX is set to launch NASA astronauts for the first time this week.

But, in the summer of 2010, NASA’s human spaceflight program was at a crossroads and it seemed this day might never come.

After years of building trust between NASA and a new generation of space companies, they have learned to work together.

The following is a preview of a forthcoming book from Lori Garver, former NASA deputy administrator, and Michael Sheetz, CNBC space reporter. “Bureaucrats and Billionaires: The Race to Save NASA” will tell the story of how a handful of revolutionaries helped pave the way for a new era at NASA.  Lori’s first-hand accounts include the decades leading up to the final negotiations that closed the deal for the commercial crew program as well as her collaboration with key players such as President Obama, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

The narratives written in the first person are Lori’s personal accounts, while the remaining sections are penned by both Lori and Michael.
