July 27, 2021 Zimmerman Space Show podcast
The podcast of my two-hour appearance last night on The Space Show with David Livingston is now available here.
Thank you to David and tor everyone who called or emailed questions. Twas a very good show, to my mind. It also allowed me hone my verbal description of my new book, Conscious Choice. When I finish a book, I tend initially to get buried in the details in describing it in interviews. This appearance allowed me to get an idea on how to talk about the book quickly, in summary. I think it went well, and will certainly get better with future appearances.
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

I wish I could have called in, in regards to California’s power. California is a big power importer. It is part of of the western grid made of the western U.S. states, B.C. and part of Alberta. When you plug in your appliance, you do not know where the electricity is coming from. The electrons from the coal power plant from Montana, Wyoming and Utah do not stop at the California state line.
I always get a good laugh from this, California and Oregon are trying to get 100% renewables by 2030 or 2040. I am sure Washington state is right behind them, they want to get rid of four dams because of some fish. They are getting rid of their generation capacity and trying to replace it with renewables. I am sorry but a 1000 wind turbines and a square mile of photovoltaics can not take the constant demand and place of a 1GW plant. California decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station (SONGS) and next will be the Diablo Nuclear Station.
What did California do with the generation capacity of SONGS going away? They now use their natural gas generator plants that are used to increase the peak generation to meet demand when it is greater, called “peaker plants”, are now running all the time and importing more power. Those peaker plants will go away due to the zero-emission law.
Most of all the power for southern California comes from out of state: Palo Verde Nuclear in AZ, some from Hoover Dam, about a third from Utah’s Coal plants, and the other third from the hydro dams in the Pacific Northwest via the intertie. That’s no way to run a state of that size.
You may feel good about yourself California, but you are just a load. Electrical load that is. Sorry to rant, but politicians have the science education of elementary school student when it comes to power.
Nice to hear you and Charles not talking over each other (to much).
