Dedication

To all the grandchildren of the team at Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, and to Jack and Tom too. May you always look up at the stars, and beyond.

And to Colin Mackellar, ‘first chaplain to the Moon’ who created the Honeysuckle Creek website and has spent so many years collecting the history and technology that the governments abandoned, to keep it as knowledge and inspiration for future generations.
