March 16, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
Embedded below the fold. John wanted to start by talking about the non-story of Budweiser looking at the technical difficulties of brewing beer on Mars. After that, we then spent the bulk of the segment talking about Trump’s budget proposals.
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

Why has NASA spent money on education, while the department for Education hasn’t spent any money on space flight? If each government agency yearly spent $100+ million on space flight, that would be great! Will Obamacare be transformed into health care satellites? Or are government departments mixing up their duties? I fanatically support all kinds of space flight. I’d support North Korean space flight if that was the only game. Our political quarrels mean nothing in a billion year time perspective, and that is the perspective that space flight is dealing with. No one has done this since billions of years if ever. So let’s do it! If it hurts someones’ feelings, well, learn to live with it.
NASA’s science director, now resigned, in the interview linked to below, just talks about gender equality. Not about science. It is obvious that NASA is almost totally politicized and has no focus on doing any science or exploration. She has to have been fucked the wrong way or something in order to be so fanatically gender obsessed and confused that she wasn’t able to do her job. Or paid by toilett politicians to deliberately sabotage NASA science. She is interviewd by the lying communist Bill Nye’s climate doomsday propaganda hate group organization called “The Planetary Society”.
