I have recommended The Dish to many for the same reason. Most don’t know or remember the part Australia played in our space program. Plus, it’s simply an excellent, entertaining movie.

And for anybody who is wondering what we are talking about, two trailers for The Dish follow:

The Dish 1.

The Dish 2.

Brilliant Australian film based on the true story of how the Parkes radio telescope in a field full of sheep in rural New South Wales broadcast the first images of Neil Armstrong on the moon - and almost didn't.
