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

Video below the fold. I would laugh except that I am crying instead. This video illustrates with actual footage what today’s modern left is all about.

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

    It is so difficult to take them seriously. I’m retired Army. I grew up on concrete mean streets in Brooklyn around your era Bob.
    I sometimes wonder if this is all a “Be Che For A Day” festival.
    What I see is a collection of beta-males fired up on caffeine and sugar drinks, accompanied by shrill hysterical females (?). I don’t even want to go near the ensemble of the gender(s) confused.
    Is that it? It’s not lost on me that they exercise their bravery within the confines of their ultra-blue enclaves.
    Snowflake is an understatement.
    the Emperor (the left) does indeed have no clothes.

    And so what?

    This is an example of science used to continue and pump the fear (in the snowflakes) and the general public’s subconsciousness. May, might, could, will eventually, could be disastrous etc, etc. These scientific study’s that the media takes and polishes and reformulates and turns into the next block buster, mega disaster…………….that no one could do a damn thing about even if they wanted to. There may be millions of earth killing asteroids within orbital striking distance that we do not even know about……so what?

    Ignorance is bliss, especially when what you have discovered is far beyond any living things ability to control or influence in any way shape or form for the most part. It does not mean that there should not be research but the story lines that are created related to them border on abuse IMO.

    Sex and fear sells, and the media must continue to do what it does, to all our disadvantage in many cases, this story above being one of them.

    A bit off topic but not entierly.
    i think some people hear might see the irony, if not the humor in the following article about the russian spy ship off Connecticut.
    Notice how the old hands brush it off as they know this stuff has been going on for decades.
    But the Dem politicians have to spin it as if this is all because of Trump – even though they damn well know better.
    And then there are the snowflakes wondering if they should pull their kids out of school…

    This guy has a few other video that are fairly good.

    Mitch–
    A most excellent point!
    These people have no clue, and no historical perspective.
    They all act like the World started, the day they were born.

    Yikes my typos were bad in the above post!
    Pretend I typed:
    “A bit off topic but not entirely.
    I think some people here might see the irony”

    I do tend to miss caps for some letters because my keyboard’s shift key is stingy.
