The future?

An evening pause: The future?

Genesis cover

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 think this is where history can repeat itself, these kids are not being taught about a major story of the mid thirties through the mid forties, When I was in junior high, I did read the diary of Ann Frank, that is not something that is easily forgotten. Instead these kids are being taught diversity training and indoctrinated into a liberal belief system that could easily allow another ethnic cleansing or holocaust to happen despite the diversity courses! This lady is right, education of the holocaust and many other ethnic cleansings, religious purges and the like need to be taught so that when the conditions are right for these tragedy’s, that they will be recognized before they are allowed to happen. One would think that a modern society would not allow a genocide, that is incorrect, Germany in the thirties and forties was a very advanced society, if it could happen there, it could happen anywhere!

    I’ll bet they know all about sex and drugs and that America is a racist nation though.

    Stunningly true Joe,

    It is truly scary to comprehend the fact that our children are purposely being made ignorant of the naked truths of the past century. It can not dismissed as accidental or a negligent bureaucratic mistake, therefore the implications of this malfeasance are truly awesome. We must address this directly.

    I actually cried at the end of this video. Being from New Jersey, I was proud of the student from NJ who knew a great deal about the Holocaust. It’s not just that one act of genocide but that genocide can occur in this world So many of the students either didn’t know what the word meant or didn’t think it was going on today. But the main point was so graphic – it all has to do with education.

    How could you learn about WWII and not learn about the holocaust?

    Oh that’s right they are not learning about WWII either.

    WWI leads to WWII which leads to the rise of National Communism around the world which leads to the cold war the Korean War and Vietnam.
    Which leads in large part to the huge pile of idiots we have now.

    Always remember our children’s first teachers are their parents.
    The education and curriculum are available if the students would like to learn from it. Also our school and public libraries are full of fiction and nonfiction materials about WW II and the Holocaust.
    You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink fits here.
