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

Bob,
Enjoy listening to you on John Batchelor.
The White House’s choice of certain forms of telecommunication to shut down is telling, namely the ceasing of transmissions of sporting events on the American Forces Network. Alternatively, would I be accurate to say the Obamaphones are still working fine?

All permanent bases overseas have high speed internet access provided through the host nation paid for by the individual solder.
Closing off the TV broadcasts only hurts those in war zones.And looks stupid to the solders.
