From Apollo 11 to the Shuttle, ISS, Artemis, and the moon-versus-Mars debate, I lived inside America’s space program.
As far as whistleblowers go, I was a minor figure. I wrote a white paper questioning NASA’s Human Research Program —and some people didn’t like it. Did I pay a price? Was walking away after decades without a pension or benefits worth it?

It’s about growing up in an agency that must do dangerous things to expensive people to accomplish its mission — and the collateral damage that follows when “prove it’s unsafe to fly” overtakes “prove it’s safe.” Collateral damage that stops you in your tracks till the cause is found, technical or human, and corrected. It’s not easy, it’s not cheap and it could years.
And if you saw something wrong along the way — and your boss told you to step back in line, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
