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


Americans the Obama Administration has left behind.

Americans the Obama Administration has left behind.

It sickens me that the Obama administration has been justifying ransoming terrorist leaders for a probable deserter by reciting the creed that America never leaves a man behind. The Obama administration frequently leaves men (and even children) to suffer and die, with minimal apparent effort on their behalf. A partial list:

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.

    Obama is moral literalist (my term as far as I know):

    A moral literalist can justify doing anything they consider “moral” and “right”, specifically if what they do is closely connectable to their political goals. The means can justify the ends.

    For example: Mr. Obama can justify swapping Bergdal for 5 high value Taliban because 1. Bergdal deserted what was an immoral war operation in Obama’s world, that’s good. 2. Bergdal presents as a Muslim or is sympathetic to Islam. 3. His father also presents as a Muslim. 4. Obama has a goal to fulfill of emptying Guantanimo of the people being held there.

    Mr. Obama will not do anything for the Marine held in Mexico due to making a wrong turn at the boarder because 1. He served as a Marine and did not desert, he enlisted of his own free will and served with distinction. 2. Mr Obama has stated before that ” they knew what they signed up for”. Meaning the men and women who enlist in the military and are gung ho to serve. 3. Everything that Obama does from here on in will be to disarm and stand down America from the world stage (we are nasty and we have dominated the globe long enough).

    If he is not stopped out by the congress, as is their job (no matter what Obama says) by being impeached and removed, which is unlikely unless he just pushes sooo far that even the Democrats would be hard pressed not to vote for removal.

    The last 6 months of Obamas reign will be very interesting, I would think that every differently colored person in federal jail will be released, I’m sure the list is being readied right now, anything that can disrupt the military will be done, anything that can funnel monies to organizations that support him will be cemented in place, anything that can be considered reparations will be enacted with an executive order, massive debt etc, etc, etc. Think of the Mark Rich pardon by Clinton on steroids. (by the way, if you remember it was an attorney working for the U.S. attorney’s general office that facilitated that pardon. His name? Eric Holder.

    B. Obama a most un American president. Every time you think he is screwing up and are outraged I’m very sure he considers himself as being successful. Long term, if we survive, Obama will serve his purpose and hopefully galvanize the country towards a true Constitutionalist and not the setup American big money fascist politicians like a Bush or a Clinton or a facsimile.

    Manchurian-Obama is a mere puppet for the criminals ruling and ruining this country. This makes him an accessory to crime and complaining to the criminal congress, criminal senate, supremely corrupt courts or casting ballots will accomplish nothing. Every system and every institution has been corrupted. Is everything not falling apart at the seams? The machine is broken beyond repair and those thinking they can bring about change from within the system are mistaken as the system will change them. It’s time for the masses to wake up, grow up and stop giving away our power to those who really do not serve our best interest. It is time for us to take responsibility for ourselves.

    This one was done because the WH needed a propaganda victory in the middle of the VA scandal. They figured a “POW” returning home would push the VA story off the front page. They were right in a way. It became a big story, just not in the way they intended. That’s what we get for hiring people who only know how to run campaigns.
