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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. 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


More evidence you can’t trust anything Donald Trump says

Just go to this link and read it. Trump has increasingly reminded me of Clinton in everything he has said and done in the past few weeks, with only one problem. Clinton has more style and a greater understanding of policy, even if I disagreed with him and considered him a liar in almost everything he said.

More and more I am convinced that this prediction of Trump’s administration will turn out to be exactly right.

Readers!

 

Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.

 

I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four 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 or subscription:

 

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

    Yow. That RedState article is particularly scary.
    Trump apparently believes the entire US economy is all under the control of the Federal Government, Inc., and he can treat it all as just moving pieces around the Monopoly board.
    Shows his complete ignorance of 20th century American history (& our Government in general) & he must have not been paying attention in Econ class at Wharton–I’m no CPA or Economist, but Trump co-mingles issues such as Trade & Defense, with current-account accounting & jumbles it all together into some (delusional) balance-sheet ‘thang, only he is smart enough to have figured out.

    Now lets weigh the Trump information against this:

    1. Her spawn telegraphs her intent in regards to the second amendment. What do they suppose will happen when all of the legal gun owners in the country are disarmed, and only the criminal element is armed?

    2. Judge Napalitano on the FBI and whether there is enough evidence to indict Hillary. You have to think that he has some inside information and is the reason that he is speaking with such confidence.

    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/22/judge-napolitano-fbi-has-overwhelming-amount-of-evidence-against-clinton-enough-for-an-indictment-and-conviction/

    This is what America is boiling down to, oy.

    Robert’s delusional dream just proves that “Rocket Scientists aren’t necessarily smart people.

    It’s understandable that people want ‘a definite plan’ but life doesn’t always work like that. Communism has great plans that never work.

    I’d rather someone fighting for American interests. We’ve had almost eight years of aid to our enemies.

    “We’ve had a lot to absorb—the breaking of a party, the rise of an outlandish outsider; a lurch to the left in the other party, the popular rise of a socialist. Alongside that, the enduring power of a candidate even her most ardent supporters accept as corrupt. Add the lowering of standards, the feeling of no options, the coarsening, and all the new estrangements.”

    Red State supports Cruz. Good to keep that in mind.
