On the air

For those that might want to hear more of my thoughts about the state of the American space effort, I will be on Coast to Coast with George Noory tonight from 10 to 11 pm (Pacific).

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 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

    Fine column in the WSJ today, Bob. Absolutely dead-on.

    Robert Zimmerman,sir,
    I do not know if I contacted you before but I am the one who invented anti-gravity, the technology of the Flying Saucer.
    You can see the Propulsion System by typing >One Terminal Capacitor< in your Search Slot.
    It was offered to Nasa already in 1978 when \I go the patent. The |propulsion Engineers in Cleveland refused it, it would make the Rocket Industry obsolete,
    Of course they tried it in 2003 after the second Space Disaster and caused the big blackout in Ontario and the USA. Inventing a tree that had done it all.
    Since |I, with my very first experiment in 1967 blew a big power transformer with one single pulse of one million volts, and they used a much higher voltage to blow the big Power Transformer Station on their grounds and leaked the short circuits all over, that TREE nonsense must be apparent..
    This Propulsion System will bring a Spacecraft at the ISS in one hour, the Moon in a couple of hours and mars within one day. Al that at a fraction of the cost.
    Do you feel, that NASA has any brains? Should it go to another country that will make the USA the laughing stock of the century.?
    Regards, Joe Hiddink.
