I’m not a robot
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 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
Edward-
good selection.
This is creepy on a number of levels.
One thing I have noticed here at BtB; I normally run CCleaner 3-4 times an hour when I’m on line, if I don’t run it or don’t clean my browser cache all day, & do more than a few reCAPTCHA’s, it stops challenging me entirely.

“If you were a robot and I knew, but you didn’t, would you want me tell you?”
Google collects a lot of data there that can be used for things other than telling if you are human enough to post a comment. They are very insidious.
I’ve noticed that when I am on a tablet, no captcha but on my PC there is one every time. Sometimes, I even have to go through several sets of images. I wonder how anal these systems are. If there is a sliver of a car or sign in a picture, does that count?
Considering how well the Google Machine performed, I am flattered to not be considered a human. Oh wait, Google doesn’t consider me a human, that isn’t such a great thing!
Edit: They must have read my comment because it took about 15 clicks to select all the cars…
Soon one needs a robot to prove that one is human.
– Free ponies for all Americans! And it will be a federal pony identification program where you will need to have your pony with you at all times.
– Besides the ponies, what other government entitlement programs do you support?
– Just that one. That’s enough.

good stuff.
“Insidious” is a great word.
I would put forth the proposition;
Standard Oil Corporation, was barely a monopoly on a good day. Alphabet is absolutely a monopoly, and I have no problem unleashing the Administrative State against them.
That zombie energy plan has potential with all the lefties in America!
