Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


June 18, 2021 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast

Embedded below the fold in two parts.

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 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

    Long time listener,

  • Dave Wier: I am baffled by your question. All you have to do is go to Behind the Black’s main page:

    https://behindtheblack.com/

    You can also reach that url by simply clicking on the banner image at the top of every post or by clicking on the menu at the top of the page and clicking on “Home,” things you do on almost all websites.

    You then simply scroll down. I guarantee you will see everything.

  • I should add that you can also use the search box on the webpage (located in the right column at both the top and bottom) to search for “cool image.” That’ll get you a lot, right off the bat.

    SN-15 & 16 on each side of the front gate or on each side of the Starbase sign. Keep them shiny & they will dazzle all visitors.

    Bob, all the cool kids are waiting for you to create a video channel of your posts on Rumble. And you don’t even have to shoot video. You could just use the pictures from your post and do a voice over. You could string together 3 existing posts of cool Mars pictures for example. That way you could make some extra cash, and we could share posts with our nieces and nephews who mainly look at video news on their phones. Yes I know it’s sad the youngsters don’t want to go to a website and actually read. But it is the way of the world now. Remember, RUMBLE wants you! (And they won’t censor you)

  • Mark: Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Doing what you suggest however would be far more work than I presently have time for, as much as I might want to do it.
