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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. 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

Readers!

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

    Standard operating procedure of the Dems for decades.

    Just like a union strike. Make it as painful for the bad guy as possible no matter what.

    Just like when teachers want a pay raise. Make it as painful as possible.

    Or when school districts want to pay for the pay raise they signed off on. Make it as painful as possible.

    In the end who really suffers? The people do.

    Power is all they care about. They would starve the very same people they say they are protecting just to force rest of the people to their will.

    They have no need to close the WH to tour groups.
    Unless they lay off the guides then it saves no money at all. It just pains the tax payer. And in many cases the very same people who support them.
    Next they will close federal parks but not lay off the staff. Watch for it in a week.
    They will order the TSA to reduce the amount of xray machines operating at each airport thus forcing people to stand in longer lines at the airport. But they will not lay anyone off.

    The libs on my FB page are posting crapola about income inequality, blissfully unaware of the danger their hero poses to our society.

    Of course there is income inequality. Its always been that way and will always be that way.

    Because labor is different it will NEVER be equal.

    They have had over three hundred years of the idea of communism to make things equal and it has always failed.
    Its always failed on the small scale and the large scale.

    As soon as you appoint a “manager” the labor is no longer equal.

  • This is SOP for the mandarin class. Thomas Sowell reports that cuts will always come from that which the public wants the most or people will realize they don’t need to spend that much.

    I say we chop off their legs.
