December 5, 2023 Zimmerman/Batchelor/Livingston podcast about Apollo 8

9:14 pm

This podcast was specifically to talk about the Apollo 8 mission to the Moon in 1968, and my book, Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8. John Batchelor and David Livingston allowed me to tell a lot of stories, some from the book and some from my private conversations with the astronauts and their families.

Embedded below the fold in two parts.

Note that I will be doing a much longer interview with John Batchelor on the December 23-24, 2023 weekend about Apollo 8 and my book. John scheduled this preliminary short interview so that his weekday audience (different from his weekend audience) could hear about the book.

Tomorrow (November 16) during the 5 to 6 pm (Central) time slot I will be appearing with Robert Pratt of Pratt on Texas for a 30-minute interview, updating his Texas audience on commercial space matters in Texas. Obviously, SpaceX’s Starship/Superheavy was high on the list.

You can listen live here or here. The podcast is now available here. I have also embedded below the fold.

October 31, 2023 Zimmerman/Space Show podcast

3:19 pm

The podcast of my appearance last night on the Space Show with David Livingston is now available. You can download it here.

The discussion almost entirely centered on the delays getting government approvals for the next Starship/Superheavy test launch. The best part I think was the conversation between myself and Charles Lurio, publisher of the very well-respected space newsletter The Lurio Report.

Also, I think one of my regular readers and commenters here at BtB called in with some good questions, but I am not sure. If so, please confirm in the comments below.

On the Space Show tonight

9:04 am

Tonight I will be doing another long appearance from 7:00-9:00 pm (Pacific) with David Livingston on The Space Show. I hope my readers tune in and, more importantly, call in with questions.

When I scheduled this with David several months ago, I told him my expectation was that Starship/Superheavy would still be on the ground due to government blockage. He hoped not. I am sad to say I was right, when I really really wanted to be wrong.
