Update: A computer glitch occurred shortly after reaching orbit, causing the computer to shut down the spacecraft’s reaction wheels.
Engineers seem unworried, and expect to have the problem solved within a couple of days.
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

NASA says engineers reactivated the LADEE spacecraft’s reaction wheels Saturday after the probe’s flight computer suddenly shut them down moments after the mission’s stunning blastoff Friday night.
here we Go Again. i am no conspiracy and only Look at Things through science and probability based on Facts and Mathematics . but after this launch, this thing went Top Secret. and i did see a fractured moment of this launch just before the vehicle exited the atmosphere
I wonder if LADEE could have been reused and sent to do the same thing on mars if a re-boost stage had been waiting for it in moon orbit.
