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 new study has found that five Gulf Coast states have so many vague environmental laws that anyone who does anything outdoors can be found guilty of something.The rise of facism: A new study has found that five Gulf Coast states have so many vague environmental laws that anyone who does anything outdoors can be found guilty of something.

And it has happened. Read the article.

Then there’s this good news: “Any federal regulation enacted by Congress or executive order…offending the constitutional rights of my citizens will not be enforced by me or my deputies.”

Update: A second Oregon sheriff has joined the first in declaring he will not enforce any federal regulation that violates the Constitution.

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.

    Whats wrong with these people, the president is only doing whats “right” and whats best for the

    kids.

  • Maybe these items should be placed under “The Day of Reckoning Looms”. It seems like we’re in a race to see which will fail first: the economy, or society. A credible argument can be made that society has already failed, and we’re just running on momentum.

  • JGL

    A 16 trillion dollar economy is BIG and has a lot of momentum, in addition when your

    currency is the reserve currency of the world you can be cavalier about how much money you

    spend and create. And that is where Americas real power lies, we are the reserve currency of the

    world and the FED controls our interest rate not the market.

    How long will that last ?

    If you beleave that I have a bridge I’ld like to sell you.

    Sounds like a easy to topple house of cards. If OPEC decides to price oil based on a non $ currency, of the fed ups interest rates, or China etc can’t extend us more credit (who really thinks we can/will pay back 16-20 trillion?), all fall down.

  • The sheriff of Washington county, OR, (where I live), has announced that his department won’t enforce proposed Federal legislation that he believes deprive citizens of 2nd Amendment rights. If Dear Leader had spent more time in the private sector instead of ‘community organizing’, he might have learned that one of the basic rules of leadership is not to make unenforcable policy. To do so invites loss of credibility. It’s one thing be thought weak by your opponents, but to be seen as such by your supporters is quite another.

    This situation (local refusal to enforce Federal law) reminds me of a similar but opposite occurrence (Federal agency refusal to enforce state law) when I lived in St. Petersburg. In the late ’80’s/early ’90’s Florida passed a law requiring boats down to 15′ to be registered. This meant that a fair number of canoes, dories, skiffs, and other small boats would have to be registered. The Coast Guard publicly (and in a way that made clear what they thought of the law) announced that it wasn’t going to enforce that law, and a lot of legislators looked stupid.
