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


“Epically incompetent.”

“Epically incompetent.”

One guess as to who this refers, backed up with binders and binders of facts.

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.

    For anyone who has been paying attention this is not news. He is without a doubt the worst president in the last 100 years. Everything he touches turns to crap. It will take a decade to undue the damage he has wrought.

  • DK Williams

    At least Jimmy Carter knew how to swing a hammer.

    The damage done to this country is by design , not accident. The result of voting enemies of the USA into power.

    We may be looking at this all wrong. It seems if Mr. Obama wanted to shift power from America to somewhere else he is being very successful. Strapping the country with massive debt, religious confusion, actively fomenting racial unrest, the armed services and VA demonstrating that it really is not your worth while to join the military, massive food stamp rolls, Obamacare in place, maximum dependency on government, making enemy’s of most of our allies and a president that does not instill confidence in the economy.

    Sounds to me like he is being very successful, all depends on your perspective. Karl Marx, Mao and Saul Alyinski would be very impressed.

    Don’t forget the general idea of the progressives(Dems) to encourage and allow as many illegal Mexicans in as possible in hopes that they will eventually vote for them(in some places its legal on local elections)

    What happens if all those Mexicans eventually decide to vote to succeed back to Mexico, like is happening in the Ukraine now? They could take the southern end of California and Texas with them.
    Are the Dems willing to go to war to stop it? Or are they willing to let 25% or more of the USA’s economy go to Mexico making them equal to the US?
    It would take a super majority vote of the house and Senate to ratify their vote but even if it doesn’t pass the illegals could gun up, ask for assistance from Mexico and make a try for armed succession. remember the US military bases and their equipment in those areas that we would stand a huge chance of losing in the first days.
    And yes there are groups of Mexican illegals and or descendants talking about and organizing for this so don’t just ignore the idea.

    And then you have this, president Obama, who is a supposed Constitutional scholar believes the the founders had it all wrong and that is why he can not get anything done.

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/may/23/obama-blames-structural-design-congress-gridlock/

    Does he not understand that the Constitution is doing exactly what it was designed to do, NOT allow him to get anything accomplished. Of course he does, but he believes that HE and his ilk are qualified to school the founders. He is like a comedian, does he really believe that any credible person believes him?

    Worse than that, the Vacationer-in-Chief believes dis-agreeing with him in the 1st place, is not going to even happen.
