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


Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment.

Finding out what’s not in it: Unable to verify whether they have the Obamacare insurance plan they enrolled in, patients walk out of hospitals without treatment.

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.

  • “In place of quick service and painless billing,” aka the way health care used to operate.

    “‘It’s not fair – you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to.” may be translated as “It’s not fair, I voted for Obama like I supposed to.”

    Chickens, meet roost.

    Well put. The Dems may discover in November those chickens flying the coop (voting booth) or worse pulling the lever against them.

    Bob:

    Have you read Krouthammer’s recent column! You should post it.
    The most brilliant political strategy I have heard in a long time from a mainline conservative.
    Try to repeal the hidden insurance industry “bailout provision” from obamacare…with a bill perhaps tied it to the borrowing limit extension. Get the liberals to vote to subsidize “fat cat” big business insurance companies (who they demonized originally-and whom I despise anyway for sucking up to the obama trough).
    They will then ,it seems, have the option of pulling out of obamacare, before they are bankrupt, and it will collapse totally.
    Even if it does not pass, the liberals will have to pay for thier vote in Nov….This is a win win. NO?

    This is one of the goals of Obama care.

    How else are you going to reduce medical costs?

    By the way a new or even somewhat old study finds that people go to the doctor and or emergency room twice as much as they did before they had insurance.

    Isn’t that a nice thought. 10 million or more people hitting up the doctors and hospitals twice as much as they did before.
    But Obama care was supposed to save money on medical care not use it twice as fast.

  • I and many, many others made this point in 2009/10. All one needed to see it was to look abroad, and a basic understanding of human nature. But Progressives willfully ignore human nature in favor of idealized intellectual constructs, with very predictable results.
