April 16, 2019 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
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

Happy Twenty-ninth, Hubble!
Would it be worthwhile to take another Ultra Deep Field and compare it with the first to see if any light that was too far to make it into the first image shows up in the second? Maybe add more photons to the farthest galaxies?
Oops! wrong place. Thought I was responding to tonight’s piece on John Batchelor. Please delete these two, or move the above to the Hubble article.
Henry Pfeil: First of all, please always use the same name, even if it is a nickname. I don’t like people randomly changing their nom de plume, as it makes civilized conversation impossible.
Secondly, no need to delete anything. Your comment will show up in the comments list in the right column of BtB, and readers pay attention to that. They will see it and respond, if they feel a need.
Besides, I talked about this on Batchelor, so your comment is on topic.
