Cuts in military budget would hit North Texas programs
The squealing ain’t just coming from cheese-eating social program advocates: The Defense Department is gearing up to protest proposed cuts in the military budget as outlined by the deficit commission.
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

Just a nit, but continuing to fly our 30-50 year old craft that the F-35’s and V-22’s were going to replace, is hardly going to save the US any money. Must less keep us able to operate our military against well equiped opponents.
Frankly I still think canceling the F-22 adn keeping teh F-15’s as the prime frount line fighters is nuts.
Also given that $100b a year is laughable with a $1.6T(?) deficit for the year – or the trillion dollar stimulas or obama care bills — could we get serious?
