As someone who watched this at the time, my inner child say's, WOOOOOOOOW!
You really captured that brilliantly, thanks for waking up some old memories.
OUT of the county, let alone the park.

Nice, very original idea A little known fact: NASA had technical issues with the live feed of the moon landing. At the last minute, the Parkes telascope (NSW Australia) was pointed at the moon landing site to get the video signal. The video was sent to a black and white TV. A tripod was set up with a video camera pointing to the TV screen. So what the world saw was a Video camera pointed at a TV screen in an outback Country town in Australia..............all 320 lines of it at 10 frames a second. Pretty high tech Huh? But it got the job done

Yeah... great story.
Watch the film "The Dish". History with a funny Australian narrative.
