Hi Mike, it's been many many years since I visited Parkes, but the dish is well worth the trip. They were doing guided tours back then but I dont know about now and the size of the dish is what really astounded me.

The movie is also one of my favourites, I have it in my DVD collection.
I remember Apollo 11 in the same way as xstream, we were all in the school assembly hall and watching various B/W tellys, a great moment I will never forget. I just hope that I'll get to see the Mars landing one day.

cheers
