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


On the radio

I will be doing a quickly scheduled appearance with Robert Pratt at 5 pm (Central) today on his Pratt on Texas radio network, airing across the Lone Star State. You can listen live here or from an affiliate station available here.

The interview is scheduled for 30 minutes, but it could go longer. The subject will be the muzzle of oppression that so many Americans are now willing to put on their faces.

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.

    Wow! On the day that America sets a new single-day death record for Covid-19, you go on the radio to denounce one of the simplest ways for Americans to reduce the spread of this disease. What timing!

    How many bodies have to pile up before you admit you are wrong?

    Mkent, I marvel at how all around me these people are supposedly dying in record numbers, which necessarily means that three times as many people must be getting very very sick and surviving …. I marvel at how I personally know ZERO who’ve been killed or e even made ill beyond mild flu.

    Mkent, I remember the first real pandemic I ever experienced, when I was 11 years old. I knew lots of people, all ages, who got sick, and that continued over flu seasons of the next 50 years. I have lived in very heavily populated port towns so we were the first to get “new” viruses and the regional industry (fishing) was very very high risk, so the “risk” of getting this season’s flu was laughable in context.

    Now you can write it off as “empirical” evidence that’s worthless and go on believing purely on what doctors and politicians tell you (those are the ones telling you that all these people are dying) as opposed to what your eyes, math skills, and personal experience tell you.

    Easily gulled, inexperienced people are free to believe what they want but they are dangerously wrong in trying to force their beliefs on “non believers” or “deniers” of whatever term bullies choose. Be responsible for your own health, fear, and beliefs and STOP trying to force others to conform to your beliefs.

    Live and let live, mkent.

    mkent,
    If those masks work, then why didn’t they work over the summer? And why aren’t they working now? If masks worked, then Wuhan would have virtually disappeared over the summer, like every flu does. Instead, the empirical evidence is that they are worse than useless and cause more spread.

    We are supposedly wearing all these masks in order to save just one life. What will that life finally be saved so that we can stop all these deadly reactions to this not-as-deadly-as-the-reactions flu?

    How many more bodies have to pile up before you admit you are wrong?
