The shuttle Discovery has lifted off
More station news: The shuttle Discovery has lifted off on its last mission.
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 watched the launch live on the web. Did anyone else notice a large white object hit the underside of the shuttle at about 1 minute plus before the solid rockets were ejected????? This object hit the heat sheilds and bounced off before passing beyond the shuttle. The object was white and planar coming into the camera view from above and away from the main fuel tank. I didn’t notice any debis after it hit the underside of the shuttle, but the deflection angle was more than grazing, maybe 25-30 degrees.
On Coast to Coast AM last December 2nd/3rd, Richard Hoagland stated very plainly that STS-133 would be the first ‘post-Newtonian’ mission. The shuttle would be powered, not by H2/O2 + solid boosters, but by ‘hyperdimensional torsion energy.’
WRONG AGAIN. Why the hell do the producers of that show call him science adviser?
