Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

“Anyone Else But You”

President Donald John Trump loves space! His first (or second?) Friday address to the nation as a president was all about space exploration. He has since often lauded “those engines coming back down”. He has then memorably celebrated that spacecraft raft Orion. And now again, yesterday, he mentioned the “wonderful Orion space capsucle”. He probably thinks about this in terms of senators’ pet projects, but at least he talks about space. And he’s all in for private space: “Let the billionaires pay for it!”
And while the space capsucle is made in the US to every part, the service module (moducle?) is made in Europe and thus of course delayed too. But that’s just his talking pattern.

I like “Anyone Else But You,” but you may recall that this is the version that I suggested to Robert:
