Re: Camelot on the Moon - From Our Archives

(Please withhold my email address.)

For more about the moon walk video, I recommend a terrific Australian movie, The Dish, which theatrically documents the Australian role in receiving the video from the moon.

From Yahoo! Movies:

Based on a true story, THE DISH takes a smart, witty, comical look at the differing cultural attitudes between Australia and the U.S. while revisiting one of the greatest events in history.

Although the Australian radio telescope shown in the movie, Parkes, was receiving video when the moon walk begin, it was not that video which most of the world actually saw. Starting a few minutes after the first step, Parkes was the main source. The movie dose not mention this and that caused some controversy in Australia. But the movie is accurate in most other respects.

Here's a great description and photos about "Operations at Parkes":
