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


A cancer patient discovers at the last minute that she can’t keep her doctor or get treatment, because of Obamacare.

Repeal the damn law! A cancer patient discovers that she can’t keep her doctor or even get treatment, because of Obamacare.

I realize I am a racist and a terrorist for repeatedly demanding that Obamacare get repealed, but unlike the Democrats and President Obama — who are willing to defend this law under all conditions — I don’t like it when innocent people die because of some stupid regulations imposed on them by self-righteous elites who really don’t know what they are doing.

The support of my readers through the years has given 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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    Obamacare is for the greater good, the inequities in the United States must be rectified! I just read that 46% of the wealth in the world is owned by just 85 of the richest people on the planet! 85 individual people! Why can’t McDonalds workers be paid $15 an hour? Why can’t everyone be paid a living wage? Why?! Human beings are destroying the entire planet with their activities! (the entire planet!) New York’s Mayor Deblasio wants to create a special tax on just some of those rich people to establish a pre kinder garden to begin to properly teach the children how to properly think. Its for the children! Their rich, why shouldn’t they pay? I think Deblasio (or is it Willhelm? Im not sure) dreamed about that inspirational Pre K concept regarding how to properly train the children while sun bathing on the beaches of Cuba during his honeymoon, those many years ago. Viva La revolution! I wonder if he met with the leaders of the Junta during his stay?

    And President Obama will act if Congress does not, he has already plainly said that. Damn the Constitution, his righteous agenda must be realized before his power ends. That’s if it ends. The Constitution is to be used today as a tool utilized in its disassembly. Why do you think it is studied, why do you think the president became a Constitutional “scholar”? ALL of the founders of this country were all racists, how could they not be, they were all white! And they owned slaves! And those slaves were differently colored! But wasn’t the most individual freedom and the most individual wealth that has ever existed on the planet earth for all people, no matter their differently colored skin situation, created as a direct result of the Constitution and free market Capitalism? More lies told by those rich bastards!! We all know that redistribution of wealth is the real driver behind individual freedom and individual wealth on this planet, today and every day in the past. Why hasn’t the U. N. taken any action?

    I could go on, but I won’t, and yes Zimmerman you are obviously a racist judging by the news items and your opinions that you constantly post on this web site, and you are probably of Hebrew lineage. That says it all. The situation here is eventually going to have to be looked into!

    I always assumed this Zimmerman was a white hispanic. What is this He-Brew beer you are talking about?

  • Cotour

    And to add insult to injury, He-brew is a sexist term to be sure!

    You have to get your breeding results straight:

    When a South American Spanish Hispanic procreates with a White racist you get a White Hispanic / murderer, when a differently colored Marxist African who’s father was tortured by the British procreates with a mid Western White socialist you get an American / Marxist hybrid president who tests the limits of the Constitution every time he does not get his way or anyone dares stand in the way of his stated agenda.

    I know this all sounds sarcastic and ridiculous, and it is, but if you were to believe the narrative that today’s self interested politicians, talking heads and agenda mongers are spewing into the air waves of our nation and the world you would be drawn to actually believe them. And this is the kind of ridiculousness and counter intuitive logic that they offer as reality and insist that people believe. That’s where we find ourselves in modern America today. We, The People, in the long run, must be better than what is being offered by these mass manipulators and power whores.

    The answer? The Constitution.

    “I just read that 46% of the wealth in the world is owned by just 85 of the richest people on the planet!”

    That is an interesting statistic. I tried to verify it, and to see how many of those 85 are kings, other monarchs or royalty, or “old” families. There are some very rich royalty in this world.

    From one article on the topic:
    “The development charity did not identify the 85 richest people cited in its study”

    And would we (or should we) be upset for those rich people who made it on their own? (Oops, Obama told us that “you didn’t make that.”) They clearly have improved life for us, if we were so willing to buy their goods and services that we made them rich. They also provide hope for the rest of us that we or our children can make good, too. (Oops, Obama also told us that “at some point you’ve made enough money.” Coming from someone who apparently made $4 million, one year, we have to wonder what he means by “enough.”)
