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 man loses his job merely because he has an opinion the left dislikes.

McCarthyism of the left: A man loses his job merely because he has an opinion the left dislikes.

We also have a blacklist being used to harass and intimidate conservatives.

But this can’t be so! The left is home of tolerance and diversity!

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.

    The pussification of America, this is what endeavors to run America.

    Talk about bigoted!

    Bigots, close minded, exclusionary, elite, stereotyping, just plain old narrow minded and nasty as they enter their meeting in complete safety and comfort. The Star chamber on estrogen.

    I am beginning to believe that modern education is more of a disease than it is education, I used to beat myself up for not getting an education past high school, not so much any more. The fact that university’s and colleges are bastions of liberalism can not help, these kids are not getting an education, they are being turned into brown shirts.

    I think this is worse than anything Joseph McCarthy ever did, this is a culture war and a war against Christianity, and against conservatives. This is the splitting of America with factions for every conceivable lifestyle, with atheist’s, gays, feminists, socialists and communists all splintering off of what America was and what it stood for, I think we are in for a wild ride, conservatives need to band together and vote in such a way as to minimize the damage, diversity as long as your not a conservative.

    Apologies for being the troll here, but …

    BAH. Three little words: Fire At Will.

    Unless you’ve got a union or something like civil service behind you, you can be fired or laid off at any time for any reason in just about any state in the country. Businessmen know this is essential; conservatives defend the practice incessantly.

    Too bad about Mr. Eich, but he should suck it up and move on. So should the rest of us, but we should also thank the Mozilla people for demonstrating that the law applies to everyone. Score one for America!

    “we should also thank the Mozilla people for demonstrating that the law applies to everyone.”

    Mike, I seem to be missing your point. Of course the 14th Amendment applies. No one is complaining that Mozilla didn’t have a right to drum out Mr. Eich, but many are complaining about the hypocrisy of claiming tolerance and equality when they are, in fact, intolerant and appear to think that they are more equal than Eich.

    I hate to keep repeating this tale on this site, but when I went to Berkeley, many of the students there bragged about being intolerant only of intolerance. It turned out that the word intolerance meant “anything I disagree with.” They were not tolerant of ideas that differed from their own, and they were even less tolerant of those who had such ideas. Anyone who wanted to fit in (and at that age, who doesn’t) had to espouse the ideas of the left, and they had to modify those ideas whenever the left’s ideology “evolved.” Anyone who failed to do so became ostracized along with those on the right. I remember some people complaining that there should be a “PC Magazine” (Politically Correct, not Personal Computing) so that everyone could keep up with the ever-changing PC ideology.

    It seems that Mr. Eich needed a retroactive PC Magazine so that in 2008 he could keep up with the President’s future evolution in 2012 and Mozilla’s own evolution that would occur in 2014. How are we supposed to stay PC when the future will hold it against us for having the exact same viewpoint that the Democrat president has today?

    To be fired for having an opinion that differs from your board of directors or employers when it has no bearing or relation to job duties is fascism, if job performance is not to nominal standards is one thing, but for an idea or an act that has no direct action to the business is wrong.
