Alexis Dahl – How to ship 800 billion pounds of rock fast
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

Great video! Thanks Wayne as usual!
It is simple system and easy to maintain. Let gravity do the heavy lifting. Another case of “Necessity is the mother of invention. ”
One thing Miss Dahl omitted from the video. How to unload the ships fast: https://youtu.be/mIPYTkrrtG8?si=3iF-Ab73DSlhrqj1
I have only two issues with her presentation: her environmental rant and her sponsor.
Even with recycling, our needs for steel insatiable. You need steel to make power cables, your cars, and it is in everything. Guess what Miss Dahl? Steel is strong and cheap. You still need power and coal (coke) to make it.
The second issue is that so called AI sponsor to make your papers. I fight with young engineers and contractors who use ChatGPT or other programs to make papers. I consider it a form of cheating. Lots of these students do this now and do not know how to do research themselves.
I recently had a customer send me a specification citing an IEEE standard. I downloaded the standard, read it, and pointed out that his spec was wrong. He told me that he used ChatGPT to generate it. If you make someone or some program generate a spec or work for you, it must be reviewed. Blindly using these so called AI programs will cost you in the long run. Trust, but verify.
