Kimya Dawson – Tire Swing
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

“Anyone Else But You”

President Donald John Trump loves space! His first (or second?) Friday address to the nation as a president was all about space exploration. He has since often lauded “those engines coming back down”. He has then memorably celebrated that spacecraft raft Orion. And now again, yesterday, he mentioned the “wonderful Orion space capsucle”. He probably thinks about this in terms of senators’ pet projects, but at least he talks about space. And he’s all in for private space: “Let the billionaires pay for it!”
And while the space capsucle is made in the US to every part, the service module (moducle?) is made in Europe and thus of course delayed too. But that’s just his talking pattern.
