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


Satire website bluntly but correctly summarizes Democratic Party policy

That website is the Babylon Bee, and the satirical article that does this is headlined: “California Governor Clarifies That Free Healthcare Only Offered To Illegal Immigrants Who’ve Made It Safely Out Of The Womb.”

The article opens with this quote:

California is offering free healthcare to illegal immigrants, once again becoming the first state in the nation to enact a wacky proposal that sounds like the right’s satire of the left and not an actual policy.

While satire, the article then goes on to describe quite accurately, though with an over-the-top bluntness, actual policy decisions in California that clearly represent modern Democratic policy, whereby the party puts first priority on giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants, people who broke the law to enter the country but are not U.S. citizens, while telling legal U.S. citizens that they will have to wait.

At the same time, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized on the issue of abortion that it now supports killing anything that is in the womb, right up until birth, and has also even advocated murder just after birth, which means, as noted by this satirical but accurate article, that illegal immigrants only get treated with compassion by Democrats after they are born.

The insanity and lack of intelligent thought illustrated here by the modern politicians of the Democratic Party should make every normal and sane registered Democrat rethink their support for this party. It has very much lost its way, and is now traveling down a very dangerous and evil path. A house-cleaning is desperately needed, so that it can maybe right itself and provide a reasonable alternative to the Republican Party.

The responsibility for that house-cleaning lies with the voters, especially Democrats. The question is whether they will do it. I pray that they will. I unfortunately do not see much solid evidence yet of that happening.

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.

    They’re pretty blunt on the abortion topic with articles posted fairly routinely:

    In the lighter side of news, there’s a new line of patriarchal thermostats. Good news, everybody!

    The philosophies of the Democratic party are schizophrenic.

    If the party as a whole was psychoanalyzed they would be institutionalized.

    STUPID X’s STUPID, YOU CAN NOT MAKE THIS UP

    I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard an interview between the Governor of Maryland and a radio host, C4.

    What were they talking about? Trump and his “Rat infested Baltimore” comments.

    https://youtu.be/5hzR6_dsKUU 16 min, priceless if you have the time to listen. Quite unbelievable, hear it with your own ears.

    After they call Trump a racist and everything else because he had the nerve to actually tell the truth about what turns out to be, a rat infested city, Baltimore, which just happens to have one of or the highest murder rates in the entire country. Basically a murder a day, mostly head shots, which means they are gang hits IMO. Well done Mr. Governor, you and C4 can be proud of yourselves.

    A caller to the show I was listening to called from a suburb of Baltimore, he lived there for 30 years. He commented that he and his family live in constant fear of being mugged or killed. So nice.

    And after they are done trashing Trump what do they go into? Everything that he has said, confirming it all. Do they not understand? Are they that dense and ignorant and void of the concept of actual truth and facing and dealing with it?

    The answer is absolutely not. Its all politics all the time and no one really cares about improving anything in Baltimore, especially the lives of the people, who by the way are primarily black.

    To add to this story, the other day a customer came into the store. He is a former Marine, is Hispanic, and may be more Conservative than I, and he loves Trump. He drives an ambulett around the Bronx proper, in the hood. His comment to me? What is Trump doing? Why would he say what he said about Baltimore? He is riling up the races, Im preparing for a race riot.

    I asked him: “Is what he said true?”.

    He answers: “Of course its true, but you can not say things like that to black people!”

    I asked him: “Do black people not deal in reality and truth?”

    He replies: “Its all true but you can not say that to them”. (I am shaking my head)

    At which point I told him that he needed his head examined and that he was wrong, and it is disrespectful to the same black population that he says can not take hearing such truth. And this is why when Trump says such things that turn out to be 100 percent true he is breaking the political paradigm of old that has worked for the last 150 years and lays down the truth equally
    for everyone. And if you are willing to ignore the truth and continue to live in your own dependent state of being at the hands of those politicians who would gladly keep you in your condition then you deserve everything you have and will ever have. Modern day slavery to my mind.

    How disrespectful, an all Democrat run city by the way. So there it is black people of America, YOU CAN’T HANDEL THE TRUTH! ?

    I say that is all wrong and needs to be changed and Trump is just the man to take care of this additional fraud perpetrated by the Democrat party and the Leftists among them. Why do they do that? Because fraud and lies is all they have.

    You have to listen to this hypocracy on the radio where the Governor of Maryland calls Trump a racist because of his Baltimore being a rat infested city, and then goes down the line enumerating how it is just that.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO IS VIOLENT, SOCIALISM

    First lets listen to someone, Rachel Campos / Duffy, (RCG) the counter part to the now unjustly famous “Democrat Socialist” AOC tells about why people in reality rush to the borders of America for entry. Are they running to Capitalism? Or are they running from Socialism? You should already know the answer no matter what any talking media head or Liberal, Socialist or Left politician wants you to believe.

    https://youtu.be/aQirG0u2NLg 3 min.

    Then lets listen to who in politics and the media is actually promoting violence.

    https://youtu.be/Zm7h3uDRjOY 3 min.

    I was going to write “Most everyone understands what is going on in our country and in the media”, but I will not, because I really do not believe that to be so.

    And so I will point out the obvious. The people endeavoring to become politically empowered and the people in the media who support them are willing to do and say just about anything to ensure that empowerment. Take 6 minutes out of your life a see what is what and please feel free to respond in the positive or the negative.

    THE COMING PROBLEM WITH TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA, IS HERE

    https://youtu.be/zWOY10DyPnU

    The other day I had my employee, who fancies herself as a Liberal / Democrat of some sort, watch that 4 minute clip of the Democrat Socialist convention the other day. Half way in she starts to walk away.

    I say, “Where are you going? These are your people, this is who is attempting to take over the Democrat party”.

    She says, “Thats fake, that is some “Deep fake” technology manipulation by some kid or its the Onion. That is not real. They call each other “Comrade”? “Right, thats fake”.

    I told her, “That is exactly what I thought, this is so stupid that it can not be real. But I found out it was and is real. This is what actually happened at the Democrat Socialist convention”.

    That Democrat Socialist convention video really embarrassed me that a human being and a fellow American 1. Would speak in such a weak and politically correct manner, and 2. That they are so miss informed and not cognizant of history and or the nature of human beings related to politics, political power and the abuse of power. These are only half educated people IMO. And the other half that is missing is the most important to understand and know.

    This perverse thinking is very dangerous and their ignorance is their bliss, but if they were ever to become fully empowered you could line people up in groups of 10 million at a time for reprogramming, or much worse. The world is a very dangerous place and this kind of thought process does not comport with that fact and therefore it makes these people very dangerous.

    Ah, when the Zman frets over the future of America, this is just one more threat that grows that will influence and control some number of the people in America and in the world as an extension. And this is but the tip of the iceberg.

    The only solution? Real and not faux leadership.
