Robert Travis: Thank you for your purchase.

It is an unfortunate thing that my book is not considered a worthwhile history by the powers-that-be in the educational community for advanced junior high and ordinary high school students. It would in a very entertaining manner teach them some very important and very fundamental facts about American history.

As a former USAF fighter pilot and current airline pilot, the awe inspiring event of hearing those first humans to ever travel to the moon reading from Genesis on Christmas Eve 1968 was so motivating in shaping and guiding my own aviation career.

Sure, Apollo 11 and the first moon landing will always take top billing for the Apollo program, but this mission was a “first” that doesn’t get proper recognition in aviation circles or the public in general, IMHO. Not to mention Anders (and Borman/Lovell) took one of the most iconic photographs of all time: Earthrise.

RIP Frank Borman !

Just wanted to let you know I discussed your book Genesis last year on my blog, here:

Cheers. I enjoy your contributions to John’s show, when I happen to catch them.

It’s in two parts.

A celebratory piece

A more cynical view. You should like this because it has a lot of material on Apollo 8, including interviews with George Low and Thomas Paine.
