The world’s biggest ship arrives in Great Britain on its maiden voyage
Link here, with photos and diagrams illustrating its gigantic size.
And it will only be the world’s biggest ship for another few weeks. A bigger ship is about to be launched.
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

Coincidentally, I was a beta reader on a novel called “The Globe” a few years back by R. Doug Wicker, better known perhaps for his non-fiction book about Pan Am 103. In Doug Wicker’s murder mystery, The Globe is a kind of cruise ship.
78 feet wider than Panamax. Incredible that these ships are now being produced by the ROK. To think 60 years ago the only building of any size that remained standing in Seoul was the train station. Most of Korea really DID look like southern California as seen in M*A*S*H after being stripped by the Japanese. In the short time I was there I was shocked to see skyscrapers go from foundation pour to completion in a matter of months, springing up like daisies.
The progressives tell us that “nation building” never works. Odds are that you drive a car made by a Korean, Japanese, or German company…
