On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Amazing photos, though the closer-up photos don’t reveal the nearly perfect hexagonal shape as well as those from further out. To me, this is the most amazing & puzzling feature on any planet in our Solar System. How such a shape could persist for decades is a true mystery. So far I haven’t seen any theories that adequately explain it, although some have suggested it’s some form of “Standing Wave” pattern, but for that to exist (and persist) on this scale & for this long is mind-boggling.
Saturn is & always will be the most amazing & beautiful of all the planets – the multiple highly-detailed ring system, its dozens of moons, the strange atmospheric features like this & the Hurricane-like storm (with a human-looking eye!) at the other pole, all add up to one very mysterious, bizarre & beautiful world…
It’s the wind up key for our solar system.
It’s the wind up key for our solar system – interesting thought – I like it ! !
