January 6, 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

Your comments about “Big Space” satellites and cube sats reminded me of this meme with a picture of a guy surrounded by stuff like a boom box, a land line phone, a PC, a VHS player with the text “20 years later and all of these things fit in your pocket”

Which reminded me of this meme with the text:
1985: I bet there’ll be flying cars in 2022
2022: My mask protects Ukrainian pregnant men from climate change

Wow, checking on this evening’s Starlink launch, I see it has been shifted to tomorrow evening, meaning SpaceX will be making two orbital launches, one from each coast, less than an hour apart. These a few hours after a Cargo Dragon returns from the ISS.
Keep rocking, boys!
Ray-
