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 tonight

For those who have nothing better to do with their time, I will be making another two hour appearance on Coast to Coast with George Noory tonight, beginning at 10 pm (Pacific).

I expect in the first hour we will talk about commercial space and the ongoing exploration of Mars. The second hour is usually reserved for questions from listeners.

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

    “The second hour is usually reserved for questions from listeners.”

    In other words, lots of questions about UFO’s.

    Bob, I had been wondering when you would be back on Coast To Coast AM, I believe they had on Dr. Sky last night. I always appreciate hearing you on the radio, no matter the venue, so I will definitely be listening tonight.

    Thanks for letting us know in time for me to get a nap in so I can be up for the East Coast time zone. Really wish Noory would make that available as a podcast

    Coast to Coast has certainly has had its ups and downs, but at its best (borrowing Harry Harrison’s description of John W. Campbell’s editorials) is is — or at least it often is — “idiosyncratic, personal, prejudiced, far-reaching, annoying and sabotaging.” Going back to its early days with Art Bell, it became a shot across the bow of everything that the comfortable, self-satisfied establishment holds to be “true,” and it can still serve up a well-seasoned portion of barbecued sacred cow. Unlike most of the rest of today’s presstitute media, however, more establishment writers and researchers are also invited to have their say here, and — bless you George Noory! — they are unfailingly treated with courtesy and respect. Where else does *that* happen on the radio in 2021?

    As guest host Richard Syrett might say, put your cloak on a peg and pull up a chair with Robert tonight; you’re among friends.

    Listening right now at work on one of my jobs.

  • J Guthrie

    Good show. Nice break from the usual Pleadian Ambassador types.
