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 refusal of 70% of California doctors to participate in Obamacare appears to be spontaneous, without leadership from any professional or political organization.

The people speak: The refusal of 70% of California doctors to participate in Obamacare appears to be spontaneous, without leadership from any professional or political organization.

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.

    In the utopian model structured under Obamacare the government tells you how much you will be paid and you are to be happy with it. Individuals naturally act in their own self interest, people don’t need to be told or organized in order for them to act in regards to that interest. Its interesting to see this happening in California, maybe they are all not as crazy as they seem.

    Contour, don’t fool yourself. I live in California and the people here are as crazy as they seem.

    Over the long term, the doctors will be forced to participate in Obamacare. If not voluntarily, then involuntarily. It is inevitable given the path this nation is on.

    Cotour, you have described the free market system. Of course doctors don’t want to participate in a fiasco that will screw them. Who would?

    Oh, wait. Bush destroyed the free market in order to save the free market. I am still waiting for it to be saved. mpthompson may be right, that with the free market being dead, the doctors may not be free to avoid getting screwed. In California or anywhere in the US. After all, who would have thought just six years ago that government could legally coerce us to buy something whether we wanted it or not?

    HOW SILLY IS THE EXTREME RADICAL *ENVIRO* LEFT?

    The French government will restart 32 nuclear reactors that generate actual electricity as this winter approaches and Putin is seen to likely be throttling Europe’s access to Russian energy. Putin plays chess. Putin has a rational strategy regarding things that he controls, and he can use to his advantage. People in the EU are certain to die this winter as a result of their leaderships incompetence and weakness.

    And Trump regarding Putin and Europe’s access to energy from Russia? He was 100% correct about the dire situation the geniuses in the many EU countries have put themselves in being so heavily dependent on Russia (And Putin) for their energy!

    And remember, they all laughed at him and were outraged that he would say such a thing right to their faces. Just like so many other issues he was and remains correct about.

    If the French have decided to restart their reactors, which obviously means that they have already shut them down, likely pandering to the irrational “Climate Change” / “Save The Planet” / Authoritarian Leftists and Democrats in the EU and America who live in an AOC fantasy reality.

    You cannot force a drastic change in energy production and use when there is no viable alternative technology available to take up the slack. It is stupid, it is deadly, and it is a threat to civilization.

    Transition to cleaner sources of energy through technology in time? Yes, absolutely. But not in a span of two years as is being attempted by the authoritarian Left. And that is what comes along with this fantasy, authoritarianism. For everyone’s own good of course. You being child like are unqualified to determine what is best for you and your life.

    YOU WILL COMPLY. It may cost you your livelihood and or your life, but you will comply.
