December 8, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
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

14:40 to 16:40 of part 1 is mainly dead air. The rest of part 1 is a duplicate of part 2.
Referencing supersonic aircraft.
They can build as many as they want, they just can’t fly them over the continental US and 1/2 of Europe. (It’s a good thing, the earth is 2/3 ocean, eh?)
“The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the U.N. agency responsible for maintaining international aviation standards, currently prohibits aircraft from creating sonic booms that can be detected on the ground but does not technically outlaw supersonic flight. >Regulations in the U.S. *flatly prohibit* flight at speeds exceeding Mach 1.0. (Private spaceflight companies are exempt.)”
Willi: I have emailed John Batchelor. Stay tuned.
Musk already merged one company into Tesla. That would be Solar City. Wall Street hated that merger. How did that merger work out? Good question…
Willi: Batchelor thanks you specifically. He is getting this fixed.
