The book explores NASA's innovative strategies during the 1990s aimed at reducing costs while enhancing mission efficiency. It highlights sixteen missions, including lunar orbits and deployments of space telescopes, accomplished with smaller spacecraft and simplified objectives, all at a fraction of traditional mission expenses. McCurdy provides a historical analysis of the successes and challenges of this approach, advocating for a "faster, better, cheaper" management philosophy in space exploration, despite its controversial reception.
