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


The global output of atmospheric carbon dioxide jumped in 2010 by the biggest amount on record, according to the U.S. Department of Energy

The global output of atmospheric carbon dioxide jumped in 2010 by the biggest amount on record, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

In 2007 when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its last large report on global warming, it used different scenarios for carbon dioxide pollution and said the rate of warming would be based on the rate of pollution. Boden said the latest figures put global emissions higher than the worst case projections from the climate panel.

And yet, the global temperatures are not rising, as also predicted by those same IPCC models.

Readers!

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows 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. 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. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally 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.

 

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.

    The world climate stubbornly refuses to do what Al Gore ordered.

    He will smite it later for its insolence.

    What frosted me was the headline in Yahoo News – It said “ALARMING increase in Global Warming”, etc. Then when I read the article, I saw it was only CO2 output that rose, NOT temps ! ! Now talk about biased, misleading reporting! My first thought was, so if there’s this huge increase in CO2 but we haven’t seen a corresponding jump in Temps, doesn’t that call the entire theory into question?

    90% of all the carbon humans ever released, 90% of all the fosile fuels ever used, has been since WW-II.

    Hottest year in modern recorded history? 1934.

    Great point! Also, climatologists acknowledge that there were periods in the past (a few thousand years ago, if I recall correctly) that were warmer than now. Clearly there were no cars, airplanes, or any burning of fossil fuels at that time, so how does that jibe with the idea of “Man-Made Global Warming”? It doesn’t…

    What’s the source of the Earth’s warmth? The SUN, of course ! ! And when the Sun’s output increases, so do Earth’s temps. If your home is too warm or too cold, the first thing you do is check your heat source (your furnace) & see where your thermostat is set.You wouldn’t go looking at minor things like whether your windows were well insulated – that could be a minor contributor, but of course the first thing you’d check would be your heat source! Absoutely amazing to me that the single biggest factor controlling Earth’s climate is completely ignored! Everyone should keep this in mind: If the Sun winked out tomorrow, within days or weeks at the most, we’d be in the middle of an Ice Age like we’ve never seen & it wouldn’t be long before all life would be snuffed out…
