Related movie, re an antenna in Oz, during the landing.

Aye.
Mildly accurate. I haven't seen it all, but there were a few key inaccuracies:
* I'm told the film never references Honeysuckle Creek which took the feed during the actual landing, due to bad weather in Parkes. They switched to Parkes, which had a bigger dish, shortly after. * There was no power-outage during operations as depicted in the film. Apart from that, it's a great piece of very Australian cinema. That happens to tell a worldwide story ... Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately. |
