A 2000 movie titled "The Dish" portrays Oz' Parkes Observatory and its role in the Apollo 11 moon landing. It stars Sam Neil, and is available from Amazon. Good film. [Smile]

One of my colleagues at Kodak is Art Cosgrove, who was a project engineer for the Lunar Orbiters, which took close-up high-resolution 70mm photos to map 99% of the lunar surface in 1966 and 1967. The film was processed and scanned in space, with the images sent to earth:

Lots of Kodak hardware up there:

Kodak -- your real "eyes in the sky". [Cool]

I thought I'd drag this one back up.....

It appears that GB is contemlpating sending us to the moon again. According to CNN, G.B. may make the announcement on the 100th anniversary of manned flight. Heres a link to the article....

This would be cool and a great boost for the space program.....hopefully if we reach that plateau again we'd keep going further out and so on and not shut it all down.
