Genesis cover

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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. 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

Readers!

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows 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.

 

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

    And speaking of smooth operators-the Lolita Express pilot said that Trump and Clinton were clients…and John Glenn too? Say it ain’t so…

    Sade, a stone cold sexy woman.

    ———

    Trump also knew Bernie Madoff.

    Epstein was one of those people who knew people and had and worked at building a massive network or rich and influential people.

    Trump has got his issues, no doubt, love him or hate him. And you know that this fact about how he apparently flew on Epstein’s plane will be leveraged as much as possible in the coming months and years leading up to the midterm elections and the next presidential election.

    But, unless the FBI is willing to deliver the pics, and if they exist I believe they would deliver them, then this is just one rich guy hanging out and flying on another rich guys plane. And that all changed once the dark underbelly of Epstein’s world became apparent.

    Is what it is.

    Great song, Sade is a great talent.

    The Trump thing is a ruse. If you are going to post that he flew on Epstein’s plane you should post the whole story. The truth is he flew once, from NY to Florida, he never went to the island. Also, Trump ejected and barred Epstein from Mar-A-Lago as well. So, Jeff Wright, you should post the entire story rather than trying to smear someone since it makes you appear to have an axe to grind.

    Sade, very talented, just not my Type.

    t-dub-
    thanks for refreshing my memory on the context behind trump and epstein.
    (I’m refreshingly amazed how little actual legal dirt, actually exists on Trump, in contrast to practically ALL the people who run the current government.

    Total tangent—
    This is an amazing legal resource– he live-streams major current Trials and provides Commentary. Currently covering the Kim Potter taser-trial, and this morning he spent considerable time on the SCOTUS oral arguments for the Georgia abortion Case.

    Wayne – Context is important as you know. Should this discussion need any more “enlightenment” then maybe we should start with Bill Clinton’s multiple flights on Epstein’s plane AND his visits to Epstein’s island for a start.

    People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Especially in a music thread.
