Y’know, you can’t finish these government projects too quickly. Otherwise, the cash cow is gone and stops producing milk!
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

What a cynic you are. Cows are people too.
I told you. Many times . This project Only exists for to funnel dollars into the What they Really Want
Who cares if they have a six month delay? It would just sit around in an expensive clean room for a few decades waiting for SLS.
Any comment on this, Bob?

When this story appeared in early September I commented about it on Batchelor. This is not the prime method used to track objects in orbit (which remains in operation). Moreover, it is going to be replaced eventually by a more up-to-date system.
I notice that this NPR report conveniently leaves out the fact that this system is not the prime system used, thus giving the impression that its shutdown leaves us blind. It does not. But by leaving this minor detail out NPR does a great job of helping the government (which happens to be the military in this case) to lobby for more government funding.
I should add that this kind of reporting is very typical for NPR, and is one of the reasons I stopped listening to it. They biases and willingness to shill for the left just got too tiresome.
This is why you don’t want to do space as a international project. If anyone whats to slow down, they automaticly slow everyone down. The ultimate non competition.
