1. The Monday, February 8, 2010 , 2-3:30 PM PST program
welcomes back Robert
Zimmerman
to discuss the new proposed space policy as part of the 2011 U.S.
budget. Robert Zimmerman is a well known and respected space historian and author.
He also wrote a weekly UPI column which can be found by doing a Google for
"Zimmerman bibliography" and click on "A Zimmerman Bibliography". Mr. Zimmerman
is also an award winning author. His new book is now out, “THE UNIVERSE IN A
MIRROR: THE SAGA OF THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE AND THE
VISIONARIES WHO BUILT IT” is published by Princeton University Press. The book
tells the poignant tale of the men and women behind the telescope, and how many had to
sacrifice careers and family to get it built. It also describes in detail the importance of
Hubble both scientifically and culturally. More than any other instrument sent into space,
the Hubble Space Telescope reshaped the human perception of our place in the universe.
Robert’s book “LEAVING EARTH: Space Stations, Rival Superpower, and the Quest
for Interplanetary Travel” is a must read! His work is published regularly in such
magazines as ASTRONOMY, THE SCIENCES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,
INVENTION & TECHNOLOGY, FORTUNE, AD ASTRA, AMERICAN HISTORY,
STARDATE, and many other major magazines. In 2000 he was co-winner of the David
N. Schramm Award, given by the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American
Astronomical Society for Science Journalism. Before writing his newest book,
LEAVING EARTH, Mr. Zimmerman authored two books, GENESIS, THE STORY OF
APOLLO 8, published by Four Walls Eight Windows in 1998, describes the family and
political tale behind the first human journey to another world and THE
CHRONOLOGICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DISCOVERIES IN SPACE (published
by Oryx Press, now Greenword Publishing Group 2000). This is a detailed reference
book describing what was accomplished on every space mission beginning in October
1957 with Sputnik and continuing through December 1999. Mr. Zimmerman also won an
Emmy Award for the best space history for the general public by the American
Astronautical Society awarded on Nov. 16, 2004. Listeners can talk to Bob Zimmerman

necessity. He has an engineering degree from Harvey Mudd college and has been
working as an embedded systems engineer for 25 years. He has been working with
his son, Paul A. Breed, 21, building a rocket for the Lunar Lander Competition.

space
flight
during Apollo and what was then called Apollo Applications. In the latter
during
the
early 1970s, he was team leader of the group that transmitted the first medical
imaging
over communications satellite links in the precursor of what is now called
telemedicine.
In the business arena, he created, grew, and ran a very successful
biomedical
engineering consulting firm, took over a surgical care facility with
instructions
from
the board to prepare it for bankruptcy, and within a year, converted it into a
successful
operation. He also founded a nonprofit medical research institution and ran it
for
four years — it now has an eight figure annual research budget. Dr. Jurist is
experienced
in running a business and evaluating a business plan. Now semi-retired, he is
