Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction
After being in print for twenty years, the Chronological Encyclopedia of Discoveries in Space, covering everything that was learned on every single space mission in the 20th century, has finally gone out of print.
I presently have my last four hardback copies available for sale. The book sold new for about $90. To get your own autographed copy of this now rare collector's item, please send a $120 check (which includes shipping) payable to Robert Zimmerman to

"Useful to space buffs and generalists, comprehensive but readable, Bob Zimmerman's Encyclopedia belongs front and center on everyone's bookshelf." -- Mike Collins, Apollo 11 astronaut
"The Chronological Encylopedia of Discoveries in Space is no passionless compendium of information. Robert Zimmerman's fact-filled reports, which cover virtually every spacecraft or probe to have ventured into the heavens, relate the scientific and technical adventure of space exploration enthusiastically and with authority." -- American Scientist
An evening pause: Performed live in 2011. Somehow this seems appropriate at the moment.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.

Interesting.
A protest strong from the Vietnam era.
I always that it amusing that the protest songs were mainly written and sung by folks that never set foot in a war zone. There are exceptions, but the majority never did.
The guys that were actually there, however, took the names of popular songs for their own purposes.

Tanks were too heavy for a lot of the roads, and wheeled vehicles moved easier and farther, so gun trucks were built by the men that faced danger in real life, as apposed to the imagined dangers thousands of miles away here.
Don’t forget the rebuttal:

Andi: I suspect you realize this, but my point in posting this was to illustrate the panicky illogic of the 1960s anti-war movement, which is the same panicky illogic that is causing our problems today with the Wuhan flu.
…thousands of miles from there.
Mr Z, I need an editing tool for when I type in my tablet. Stupid virtual keyboards never work right.
