Acknowledgments
There are so many people without whom this book could not have happened. First and foremost, Jim Martin, whose e-mail I opened on my phone at the bank one day. You assured me yours was a real publishing offer and stood behind me every step of the way. Thank you, along with Jackie Johnson, Laura Phillips, and Bloomsbury, for reaching out to and guiding an unknown author.
I wasn’t completely new to the science writing world when I started Breaking the Chains of Gravity. A number of people have helped me along in my career, getting me to the point where I was ready to take on a book. Alex Pasternack at Motherboard, thank you for giving me my first job as a writer. Fraser Cain at Universe Today, thank you for bringing me into the core of online space nerds, and for letting me come back from time to time even though I’ve been too busy for regular Hangouts. Thank you Ian O’Neill at Discovery News for hiring me and always having my back.
Two people reached out to help me enter the world of publishing, giving me advice I didn’t even know I needed. Phil Marino at W. W. Norton Liveright, thank you for taking me to lunch more than two years ago in New York and giving me a publisher’s opinion on an early proposal that ultimately tu
rned into this book. Alex Jacobs from Cheney Literary, thank you for letting me ask you all kinds of questions about signing a book contract.
Francis French, your ongoing support, not to mention the opportunity to write a section of an Apollo astronaut’s memoir, has meant the world as I continue to establish my career. Matt Wood, you’ve been a wonderful friend and a sympathetic ear through the final stages of this endeavor, and you’re a great sounding board. Robert Reeves, you’ve been a source of strength on rougher days. Thank you, all three of you, for giving your time and thoughts on my early drafts.
A handful of people might not realize that they’ve been pretty important to me. Phil Plait and Geoff Notkin, you both offered me a lot of support years ago that helped give me confidence to keep going in this weird world of science communicating. Jamey Wetmore at ASU, thank you for helping me with my master’s thesis all those summers ago; I’m still using lessons learned from you in my big writing projects. Nathan Kitada at YouTube, thank you for seeing something worthwhile in my space history videos; you’ve made me feel like I really can branch beyond the niche of already dedicated space history fans. Alan Stern, thank you for bringing me onto the New Horizons team, an incredible opportunity and an even more meaningful vote of confidence.
Mark Ulett, thank you for cheering me on when I first took on this project, for letting me bounce ideas off you for years as I honed this story, and for reading every early draft of my sample chapter and proposal.
To my parents, thank you for the gift of my education, your love and support, and the freedom to devote myself to this book. And Dad, for learning more than you ever wanted to know about spaceflight reading drafts along the way. I love you both.
And finally, to every Twitter follower, Facebook fan, YouTube subscriber, and blog reader. You are all the reason I’m able to do what I love for a living. Thank you for allowing me to explore my nerdy space passion and share it with you. I’m so glad you guys love this stuff as much as I do!
