Good distractions
My posting this week has been somewhat slack, mostly because I am trying to finish up a caving monograph for a survey project that has been on-going for the past five years. I have also been swamped with the very last changes to my policy paper for the Center for New American Security, which now has the title Capitalism in Space: Private Enterprise and Competition reshape the Global Aerospace Launch Industry. (I am hoping that title causes a few liberal heads to explode when the paper is released in the coming days.) I am also off on another cave project this weekend, so I will not be posting again until Sunday night.
Hopefully, things will ease up next week. In the meantime, enjoy your weekends and do not get too depressed over the insanity and madness that appears to be taking over our society.
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

I suspect that most of the liberals whose heads would explode because of the title are uninterested and unlikely to read such work. “Think Triggly puff?”

You do have a point as far as general audience (Policy Papers) but these think-tanks do keep track of each others work & try to get their own material to every staffer & office on Capital Hill, and affiliated lobbying organizations & Industry folk.
(In my humble opinion, it would be helpful if the CNAS folks would upload the video of that Conference Mr. Z attended in conjunction with issuing the formal paper. And a nice segment on Louder with Crowder…)
Looking forward to reading the policy paper.
CATO & Heritage for example, don’t do a whole lot on “space,” and what they do is largely military related.
I would hope we’ve reached a point where we actually started discussing important stuff as it relates to free markets & space, at a higher-level “government-wise” than we have been.
Unless I’m totally under-informed, I think there is a definite niche for what Mr. Z is presenting & a growing demand to hear it.
