On September 26, Dr. Scott Pace participated on a panel at a CSIS event alongside Christian Davenport (author of “Rocket Dreams: Inside the New Space Race”) and Chirag Parikh (former Executive Secretary of the National Space Council).
The event featured a fascinating discussion in which Christian, as a journalist, analyzed the transitions between presidential administrations, complemented by behind-the-scenes perspectives from the two former Executive Secretaries who were serving at the time. Another noteworthy topic was the importance of continuity—passing space programs and capabilities smoothly from one administration to the next.
