Upcoming lectures
Since one of my readers asked about my future speaking appearances, I thought I’d note them here, on the main page. I will be speaking at three different venues in the next month, as follows:
- Lecture: December 10, 2016, 2:00-4:00 pm, Tubac Presidio State Historic Park, Tubac, Arizona. Topic: “Apollo 8: Mission to the Moon”.
- Lecture: December 14, 2016, 11:30 am, for the Vandenberg section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Topic: “Predicting the future of space travel, based on the past”.
- Lecture: January 19, 2017, for the St. Louis section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Topic: “Predicting the future of space travel, based on the past”.
The first is open to the public, but there is a $10 admission fee to the park. While the last two are free and also open to the public, I do not know what the public must do to gain access to the middle event at Vandenberg Air Force Base, as the location I think will be inside the base.
As always, all my appearances, including these, are listed in the right column below.
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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

Very cool!
>Hoping the “audio-visual folks” are recording these!
My son and I just watched “Apollo Thirteen” again the other night.
Every time I watch it and there are references to Apollo 8, it reminds me how lucky NASA was to have that oxygen tank explode on 13 instead of 8….. Or, for that matter, on the way back on any of the other moon missions.
