I still remember watching the Apollo 11 landing live on b/w TV, I was at
primary school and the teachers sent everyone home early to watch it.
It was incredibly exciting, and the photos that they brought back were
printed in many magazines. The landing tv signal that NASA sent to the
world came mostly from the Parkes radio telescope.

RIP Neil Armstrong
