Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. 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

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.
