The Fifth Anniversary of Behind the Black
This week I celebrate the fifth anniversary of this website. My first post here took place on June 27, 2010, but I consider the beginning of Behind the Black to have occurred during that entire first week as I figured out how I wanted to do it.
To commemorate these past five years I am holding a fund-raiser. Please consider contributing.
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

Congratulations Robert. I appreciate what you do very much. Please keep up the good work. While I like hearing you on Coast, I am going to e-mail John B Wells over at the Caravan to Midnight to see if he would consider having you on as a guest.
Kudos!
Congrats Bob.
Grateful for your insights and passion for sharing.
Your site is a must read for this curious engineer and freedom loving human.
Wow! 5 years? Seems like yesterday when I discovered your terrific site, most likely through a coast to coast interview.
Love to help, but I just lost my job (damn Obama economy!) again. Seems like every time I want to help I end up needing help myself! Still, you have my support.
Even with the ads it’s still a great start page for whatever browser you’re using.
Congrats, Robert!
The check is in the mail.

Congratulations, Bob. You’ve maintained an excellent mix of commentary, reporting and whimsy on a host of topics. May success follow you for years to come.
