June 28, 2016 Zimmerman Space Show appearance
My two hour appearance on the Space Show with David Livingston is now available as a podcast and can be downloaded here.
I spent the first half hour outlining the general conclusions drawn by me in writing my policy paper, Exploring Space in the 21st Century, for the Washington think tank, the Center for New American Security. I then spent most of the rest of the show discussing and debating my conclusions with various callers. If you want to get a taste of what that policy paper will say, you should definitely listen to this 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

Enjoyed and was educated listening to this Space Show podcast on your policy paper. Seems well grounded in historical evidence and common sense. Well done Bob.
I’m curious what, if any, early political pushback you are hearing from the pork minded legislators who ultimately control the purse strings and who’s agenda you are shining a light on.
Frank: No serious pushback, but the policy paper has not yet been published. I expect things to change when it is released and distributed throughout Washington by the think tank. Things should thus get entertaining come September.
