Mike Rowe – Can You Be There By Nine?
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
I really enjoy Mike Rowe. After all I’m a pragmatist . . .
His “Dirty Jobs” series has just been renewed this season and its syndication value and longevity is monumental in the industry. If any of you out there subscribe to Fox Nation, Tucker Carlson did an amazing 2 part interview with Mike that was really fun to watch. I learned Mike sang for the Baltimore Opera and had a very unintuitive career, and life, that helped him formulate the “Dirty Jobs” idea. It’s an odd journey of success that I found fascinating.
Sadly-we lost another funny man:
P. J. O’ Rourke has passed away.
PS.
Bob Saget’s death looks suspect-blunt force trauma…by fall….or blow.
Domestic?

Once had a colleague remark: “I don’t recognize Mike Rowe unless he’s dirty.”
No higher compliment.
