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


September 6, 2019 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast

Embedded below the fold in two parts.

The first segment is especially worth listening to, as I blast the leftist mob rule that is killing TNT, advocating climate fraud, and is now trying to use that climate fraud, mostly by Democratic politicians, to advocate the destruction of freedom and our capitalist society. In fact, after we finished that segment John Batchelor took me to task for calling these Democrats “fascists” twice. John didn’t dispute my use of the word, nor was he trying to shut me up. He merely said using the word twice in one segment isn’t good radio, and to this I kind of agree.

Then again, these Democrats are fascists, and more people should be saying it.

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.

    Hi Bob, I have an interesting article regarding a genuine “left” UK politcians stand today against the far left here in the UK….
    I was going to mail you the link, but the mail address I have bounced back….
    Here is the link, reported in my old local newspaper from when I lived in the UK.

    I believe Ian Austin makes the point very well that us leftist moderates are sick and tired of the turm “left” being hijacked by the extreme left, I hope it also gives all the readers of your wonderful blog an insight into my political opinion.
    Peace and love ;-)

  • Lee Stevenson: I just wish more “leftist moderates,” as you call them, would do as this MP did. They don’t however. If they did Boris Johnson’s agenda would be moving forward now, rather than being blocked by the leftists and RINOs in Parliament.

    And this applies to the U.S. as well. Too many decent Democrats are willing to look the other way as their party is hijacked by fascists, anti-Semites, and outright hate-mongers. Opposing such people, no matter what the policy, should be a no-brainer. Sadly, for Democratic voters that has not been the case.

    If the Democrat machine continues with the pro forma, next in line candidate offerings that they have at the moment as in Biden, Warren, Sanders, Booker, Buttigiege etc., narrow spectrum cartoon / joke candidates, they will by default and because they are unable to think / act in a different manner produce the desired results, the reelection of Trump.

    None of them are coalesing their people because they believe in what they have to say and their philosophy. Fractured is the word to use in regards to the Democrats and their party. What is that they have to say to attract their supporters? America is broken. America is the problem. Trump is a racist.

    None of which in the real world is true, and the every day red blooded American Democrat intuitively know it. The fringe is the fringe and will remain the fringe.

  • Dick Eagleson

    There are no “RINO’s” in Parliament as there is no Republican Party in the U.K. I believe the usual term of art for squishy and irresolute members of the U.K’s Conservative (Tory) Party is “wets.” I leave the etymology of this pithy term as an exercise for the reader.

  • Dick Eagleson: I accept the correctness of your nitpick. I think the point was well understood by all, which is why I used RINO.
