Readers!
The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.
For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.
As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the 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. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
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.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. 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

Ah, models and predictions, very informative and instructive.
Great time lapse footage.
Inspired by Cotour’s remark, if that is meant as a subtle criticism of the uncertainty of models, I’d like to point out that Gall’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemantics is a fantastic work about wrong assumptions, finding critical data, reality checks, honestly analyzing system behavior and designing new systems. The author’s pet peeve is nuclear plants, but it’s easily transferable to other engineered and human systems. So if you’re tired after fighting over toilet paper with the crowds out there and could enjoy some uplifting and educational literature in your cozy home, go for it.
If you need a literature recommendation for during shelter-in-place, go for it.
A little electricity here and there, pretty soon you’re talking about enough to keep the lights on in a state that needs to keep the lights on.
These people are so thrilled to tear something down, but what they don’t realize is they are the ones that will pay the price.
Put fish ladders or stairs whatever they’re called in and get past all this animal worship. God put all the animals here for our use so that we can reach our highest potential.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Gen. 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
He didn’t make clothes of cotton. He tanned the hide of an animal and made leather clothes for Adam, (in Hebrew Ish) and leather clothes for Eve, (in Hebrew Isha).
