The Gravity Well reveals an astronomical mystery while offering the best promise for our nation’s future.
The Gravity Well reveals the true challenge of space—poorly understood until now—while making an inspiring case for making meeting that challenge. Imagine a national effort that:
- Offers immediate payoffs to the economy.
- Inspires young people to study STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
- Restores America’s reputation as a peaceful world leader.
- Already has the support of Americans: Democrat, Republican, and Independent.
The Gravity Well is a must-read—not just for lovers of space but for every reader who cares about our country and our future.
