October 6, 2016 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
Embedded below the fold. Besides discussing Blue Origin’s successful test flight, we also discussed NASA’s future plans for Curiosity.
Note: The embed has been fixed.
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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

Why are you not talking about this huge story? Which one do you think will get there first?

Some guy: The reason I am not talking about this story is because I don’t take it seriously. The rocket Boeing is claiming will take people to Mars is the SLS rocket that it is partly building for NASA. Because of its high cost I have serious doubts it will ever fly more than two times, if that. No one can afford to pay for it.
The link does not have you as guest, and is about how Russia is taking advantage of US’ failure in the Middle East.
Great that you are on thee show every other day now. There’s no lack of space related topics to discuss. It’s becoming a busy business.
John – or his site – mixed up the recordings. Right now the one labeled about Russia and war is actually the show with Bob.
Calvin– ditto on that, the stream & the mp3 download.
Mr. Z– really hoping your talk in Illinois was recorded for upload!
slight tangent– are your JB show segments recorded/live, or what? How does that all work?
Wayne: First of all, my lecture in Illinois was not recorded. Sorry. Second, my Batchelor appearance these days are almost all taped ahead of time. I used to do it live when I lived in Maryland, but since I moved to Arizona it has become more practical to tape them during the day.
