. In the recently published memoir, Lori Garver, former deputy director of NASA, recalled in detail the process of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's founding SpaceX and independent research and development of rockets

this memoir, entitled escaping gravity: my quest to transform NASA and launch a new space age, was published on June 21

as we all know, musk decided to establish SpaceX largely because he was frustrated in seeking help from Russia and even spat by Russian designers

gaffer wrote in his book: "Musk felt insulted by this move. For this reason, he decided to set up his own rocket company on the flight back to the United States to compete with Russia. Obviously, this saliva aroused Musk's ambition to launch 1000 spaceships."

gaffer also describes the commercialization process of the U.S. aerospace industry during her tenure as deputy director of NASA under the Obama administration. This book highlights gaffer's efforts to make space travel cheaper

gaffer and musk first met in the summer of 2002, when they discussed NASA's dependence on Russia. Previously, gaffer had just completed a period of training in Russia and was ready to board the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. However, because singer lance bass participated in the bidding, gaffer lost the opportunity

the former NASA official was not the first person to talk about the incident in detail. Last month, Jim Cantrell, the co-founder of SpaceX, said that when musk took him to Moscow to negotiate a rocket purchase deal, the Russians were very unfriendly to them, and the deal would be used to send mice or plants to Mars in the future

Cantrell said in the documentary broadcast in May: "when musk spoke, the chief designer of Russia became very excited. He seemed tired of listening to him and spit on our shoes."

Cantrell speculates that Russians may think Musk's informal dress is "disrespectful to their performance". However, gaffer writes that Musk's "subversive mentality and lack of respect for traditional industries" often have a similar impact on NASA and White House staff

in Ashlee Vance's biography Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX and exploration for a better future, Cantrell gives a similar description. He said that in several dialogues in Moscow, the attitude of Russians towards musk was very poor. Russians are more interested in chatting and drinking, while musk is eager to start business

in Vance's book, Cantrell said: "they (Russians) look at us as if we can't be trusted." He also believed that the Russian chief designer spit on them because "he thinks we are all shit." Vance wrote that even adeo ressi, Musk's close friend, had questioned whether the billionaire was crazy

according to the description of the book, the Russians were unable to reach an agreement with Musk on the price, which prompted musk to "leave the conference room in a rage". However, Cantrell told Vance that it was on the flight back to the United States that musk came up with the idea of building his own rocket

less than a year after that, SpaceX was founded. Now it has grown into one of the most valued private companies. Last year, SpaceX launched the world's first pure commercial orbital mission. According to musk, the company has signed a contract to manufacture a lunar lander for NASA and is preparing to launch the world's most powerful rocket before the end of this year

meanwhile, musk has been competing with Russia for a long time. Recently, the billionaire and Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency, had many verbal battles on twitter. (small)

former deputy director of NASA: many people inside the agency strongly oppose SpaceX.

on June 24, Lori Garver, former deputy director of NASA, revealed that many people inside NASA strongly oppose SpaceX. Gaffer himself had a major dispute with the current leader billnelson because of SpaceX and others

gaffer said that he should not only deal with gender discrimination from his colleagues, but also face the "negative attack" of current NASA director Nelson. She claimed that the core contradiction between the two was the Rocket Company SpaceX and its controversial CEO Elon Musk

gaffer said that she took the lead in promoting the public-private partnership between NASA and SpaceX, that is, the commercial astronaut program. She said the move angered many NASA insiders, including Nelson

gaffer wrote that when Nelson was a US senator, a group of people headed by him "opposed" the commercial astronaut program. Gaffer recalled that at a private meeting after musk publicly announced that he could help NASA, Nelson, then a senator, "shouted to me, 'let your son Elon line up'"

according to gaffer, although Nelson changed his words and "tried his best to promote the commercial astronaut program", he did not always like musk and SpaceX very much

it was previously reported that many people in NASA despised SpaceX, and Musk's eccentric behavior and arrogant style also contributed to it

gaffer is obviously a fan of SpaceX and musk. She wrote that his "story is difficult to separate from his own story"

"without him and SpaceX, I couldn't have made such a big change at NASA," gaffer said. (Chenchen)
