January 25, 2023 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

In case of ISS evacuation, there are now five passengers for Dragon: the four who flew up in Dragon (Mann, Cassada, Wakata, Kikina) and now the fifth (Rubio) using his Soyuz seat liner, somehow. And two Russians go home in the crippled Soyuz.
So how is Rubio’s seat (and suit) attached in Dragon? I’d love to see those NASA photos.
From the comments of Bob and others, I infer there are no public photos of the 5th seat installation. This is strange, as I would think SpaceX and NASA would enjoy the positive publicity inherent in adapting an American spacecraft to respond to a Russian deficiency.
Maybe I just answered my own question… did the Russians insist on everyone keeping the plan low-key out of a need for avoiding perceived embarrassment? Or perhaps Putin agreed only on condition that nothing be done that suggested camaraderie with NASA at this time of strained relations?
