Book excerpt: 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 significant contribution to Australia’s role in space exploration and reveals a story little known until now. As Christopher Columbus Kraft Jr, 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’. '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

Book excerpt: Once, going home was his heart's desire...Blane McCallum works alone. Though widely recognized as the reason for his company's continuing global success, Blane shuns his celebrity status. Fame means nothing to a man still mired in the tragedies of the past. But the impending sale of his parents' estate means he must return to the North Carolina town--and the memories--he was forced to leave behind sixteen years earlier. This time he plans to leave Honeysuckle Creek on his own terms. Forever. But even the best-laid plans can change in the blink of two sparkling green eyes.Once, he was her hero...Grace Ellison believes in second chances. To the young teacher, no one is beyond redemption. But she and her forgiving heart can't seem to avoid stumbling into awkward mishaps at every turn. But even the most cringeworthy incident with her troublesome pup can't compare to an ill-fated encounter with her childhood hero.When their eyes meet, there's a spark. An undeniable spark. A surprise revelation. A taste of danger. A daring escape by moonlight. The spark ignites. But sometimes, heroes make mistakes. Sometimes, even a hero needs a second chance.Sometimes, once is forever...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is perhaps the most complete, detailed and readable story of manned space-flight ever published. The text begins with the historical origins of the dream of walking on the Moon, covers the earliest Mercury and Gemini flights and then moves on to the end of the Apollo era. In readable, fascinating detail, Hamish Lindsay - who was directly involved in all three programs - chronicles mankind's greatest adventure with a great narrative, interviews, quotes and masses of photographs, including some previously unpublished. In addition to bringing the history of these missions to life the book serves as a detailed reference for space enthusiasts and students.

Book excerpt: The exploration of space was seen as the greatest adventure of the Twentieth Century, while in the Twenty First Century space-based services have become an integral part of our daily lives. Although it is not often recognised, Australia has had its part to play in setting the world on the road to the stars and was one of the earliest nations to launch its own satellite. Today, the country is one of the largest users of space-based services. This revised and updated edition of Space Australia tells the story of Australia's involvement with space activities, from the earliest rocketeers to the latest satellite projects. It describes the vision, high hopes and achievements of professional space scientists and engineers, in both the civil and defence spheres, as well as the inspired amateurs and the new-breed of young space entrepreneurs who want to contribute to Australia's space future. The book also highlights the challenges of maintaining an Australian commitment to space activities through changing political and economic circumstances.
