We should all cheer SpaceX’s success
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

When I clock on the link I get a message that says “We hope you have enjoyed you complementary access” and basically invites me to pay to read the article. Since I have no intention of paying for a subscription to Today, I cannot know for sure what the article asserts. But based on your short description, I will be more than happy to “cheer” Space X’s success as soon as they have one (as in as soon as they begin regular cargo service the ISS – which as far as I know has not yet happened).
If you click on the text of the article itself, to one side of the subscription box, the box will go away. Another choice is to reload the page but to hit “Escape” as soon as the text appears in order to prevent the subscription box from loading.
If Florida Today continues to make it hard to read its material, however, I expect I and others will link to it less often.
Thanks.
Another method in Firefox is to turn off (dis-enable) Javascript in the tools/options/content menu.
Don’t know about Internet Explorer (never could find the Javascript off switch for it)
