Iran abandons effort to put humans in space
Iran has cancelled its human spaceflight program, citing cost is the primary reason.
Considering the delays their space programs has experienced in launching unmanned satellites, the technical challenge was also probably a factor as well.
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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

Thank God!
Now the Iranian’s can concentrate on developing nuclear weapons and can figure out how to get them into space. The Iran deal serves so many causes, thank you president Obama and John Kerry. Everyone in Israel and everywhere else sleeps well knowing that the things you have accomplished in your administration have had such an effect on the U.S. and the world in general.
The Iran deal certainly helped fund their nuclear program but the greatest immediate damage was that it allowed Iran to fund their national army and Hezbollah in Syria. When we look at the refugee crisis, ISIS, and the carnage in Syria, Iraq, and Lybia, so much of it is because of Obama’s pursuit of a deal with Iran.
How many people had to die torturous deaths, be uprooted from their lives, and sold into sex slavery just so Obama could help Iran get nuclear weapons?
The silence of our media during eight years of Obama’s horrific bungling of wars and foreign affairs is horrendous. Being tough on the current President doesn’t make up for it.
Obama the musselmen
