When the Day Breaks
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

When he’s angry, the chicken’s expression reminds me of Mitch McConnell somehow.

Good stuff!
Referencing animation in general and a big chunk of historical culture, it’s amazing how animals represent all sorts of conceptual yet concrete aspects of purely human behavior.
Does anyone know what this particular Style of animation this is called?** The more I watch it, the more I pick up, contextually & stylistically. Almost looks roto-scoped in places, photo-realistic in others and I personally like the fine-line + high frame-rate jerky type stuff.
[** I jokingly call this type of animation “subsidized-arty-populux-esque,” but some of it is quite nicely executed & very skillfully done.) (Big fan of pre 1950 animation of all sorts. “Cartoons” were not initially aimed at children, that came much later.)
ummm…
Call me a Luddite, but what was the point of that ramble?
“We are all connected?” ugh…
So, as to animation styles. There were a couple of techniques used. One as a way of making a cartoon look like “stop action” miniatures like Harry Harryhausen made famous after he saw “King Kong”.

Another technique used, which was the farmland sequence with the horses, looked like “Rotoscopeing”

But what it all said will remain, for me, just another weird pointless stroll through mindless introspection.
ugh
