About Honeysuckle Creek: The Story Of Tom Reid, A Little
Product Description Honeysuckle Creek reveals the pivotal role that the tracking station at Honeysuckle Creek, near Canberra, played in the first moon landing. Andrew Tink gives a gripping account of the role of its director, Tom Reid, and his colleagues in transmitting some of the most-watched images in human history as Neil Armstrong took his first step. Part biography and part personal history, this book makes a serious contribution to Australia’s role in space exploration. As the director of flight operations for Apollo 11, acknowledged: “The name Honeysuckle Creek and the excellence which is implied by that name will always be remembered and recorded in the annals of manned space flight.” Review A wonderful and inspirational story, beautifully told. As hard as it is to do this extraordinary yarn justice, Andrew Tink has done it.' - Peter FitzSimons About the Author Andrew Tink is an author and adjunct professor at Macquarie University. His biography William Charles Wentworth won The Nib award for literature in 2010.
