November 8, 2016 Batchelor/McCotter/Rose/Zimmerman podcast
Embedded below the fold. This was my appearance on Batchelor last night after it appeared pretty clear that Trump was going to win.
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

Wrong episode.
Calvin– it’s the correct link–Mr. Z starts about 5 minutes in.
Mr. Z– check your Pratt on Texas link (the second one)– it points to ‘page not found.’
Wayne: I have emailed Robert Pratt to see if he will post the talk as a podcast. This link originally went to my last appearance on his show, but that link has now expired.
The anti-establishment president elected has often spoken about using successful businessmen to negotiate trade deals. What about offering the position as NASA administrator to Elon Musk? One could transfer heliophysics and cosmology (the space telescopes) to NSF and turn NASA into a Solar System exploration agency. Humans would be on Mars in eight years, when Ivanka Trump becomes the first woman president.
