Re:Moonlanding - 2007/03/31 23:35
Sorry for resurfacing this topic again. Yesterday I took a drive up to the site of the former Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station and took a video of it. This was the dish (not the one in the movie "The Dish") that received the first 10 minutes of the Apollo 11 moon landing including the famous "one small step" speech.
These are links to the videos:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDhXPNOttGw
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhfvQIRjKc
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDEJmngEQJ4
The first 2 videos are just me driving to the site while the 3rd video shows what is left there. The dish is now located 20km away at the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station ("Tracking station 43 Canberra, come in Canberra").
