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


Muslim policemen shouting “Allahu akbar” open fire on Jews praying at Joseph’s Tomb

Muslim policemen shouting “Allahu akbar” open fire on Jews praying at Joseph’s Tomb, killing 2 and injuring five.

And yet, it is Terry Jones who is criticized and imprisoned for wanting to stand in front of a mosque in the U.S. with a protest sign.

The world, and justice, is upside down.

The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the 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. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

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.

    wow what twisted logic here. you are comparing Terry Jones – one christian extremist with other religion extremist. And justifying what? Both are derange.

    Get a friggin grip Robert and grow up a bit. You are on a planet with several billion humans with a number of belief system for coping & dealing with existence.

    I work a # of folks with different belief – and none condone this crap. Yet you only focus on islam extremist. Hmmm from a history point of view – christians have equal blood their hands. How about looking at the priest at the Catholic church and their abuse of children, do we need a score card? I’m sure your religion is pure and virtuosity – since you insist on comparing. Let’s bring in all the facts to give perspective – not the selected data you only want to see.

    Hey if want your socks twisted, from my point of view where’s your math for the soul? No math – no soul. Deal with it. And I know all to well what extrimist think of my perspective

    So from my view and freedom of speech – these folks are in serious need of therapy!

    Your space stuff is ok – but this stuff is just rant and doesn’t help.

    Btw – I’m always offended by folks who justify their emotional underpinnings of realty by being hypocrites – this is good for you. Don’t feel special.
