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


The Great Kiss-off

An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.

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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    Hilarious! Thanks, ET.

  • John Conyers

    Very funny!

    Very funny, laughed out loud………………………. but.

    Lets interpret this video in the way that an indoctrinated Liberal, ANTIFA radical or a feminist in the fast approaching minority for the moment future might interpret it.

    This oppressive video is just one more example of a patriarchal society model where the dominant and institutionally controlling Christian males teach and reinforce young and vulnerable females who are exploring and discovering their sexuality and their potential for each of them to love those of the same sex to reject their natural feelings and predilections.

    And the coupe de gras? When the male oppressors in the end scene shame and disgust the vulnerable and developing and as of yet undecided and sexually unassigned androgynous young ladies who were more than likely forced to participate in this vial patriarchal meme exercise by their male DNA donor overlords of control.

    And the final scene where the subservient male dips the symbolic tool into the toilet and then applies it to the mirror, the mirror in which the vulnerable young ladies see themselves everyday and now forever in their shame and disgust! Then the subservient male and the Alpha male bond in laughter as their subjects of control and reprogramming run screaming in disgust from the bathroom, re-instructed.

    As crazy as this interpretation may seem at first to some, and I hope that this video dissection and reexamination exercise has not offended anyone, but its out there. You know its out there, I guarantee it.

    C–
    …it’s funny.
    (let us not interpret it!)

  • Cotour

    Like it or not, offended or not………………its out there.

    That or some version of that is what is bouncing around in some of these political operatives minds and that mind set and learned interpretation and justification is what they use to justify their insanity and actions.

    Classic funny, I have not seen that in some time, thanks for that.

  • wayne: Why do you always post these great videos in a comment, instead of recommending them to me as an evening pause?

  • wayne

    Hey– (no time)
    I must give due credit to one of my customer’s, via joe rogan & joey diaz for the Susquehanna skit.
    There is an excellent animation short of joey diaz ranting about “Susquehanna.” but I won’t directly hot link to it (*adult language*) just search “joe rogans Susquehanna moment” from paulytoons.
    –it’s deeper than it sounds— the hat company in the original is just a “McGuffin,” or as diaz says, a “fugazi.” (and rogan therein, displays his lack of knowledge of Abbot & Costello and he’s a comedian…)
    Anyway….
    comedy is tough, generally trend toward submitting music. (and Edward is the energizer bunny of suggestion’s!)

    Cotour–
    -Definitely Abbott & Costello, over Laurel & Hardy, but the 3 Stooges over either.

  • Cotour

    I have two words for you: Niagara Falls!

  • wayne

    Who is on first, What is on second, and I don’t know is on 3rd…
