Hi,

I found the neglected profile of Edward George Bowen, who joined the CSIRO, and was instrumental in the construction of the Parkes Observatory, which was used to transmit or streampart of the Apollo 11 landing to TV's around the world. He didn't even have a Notables Sticker. I then went to categorize him, and find that we have no Australia categories even close to space, except for those relating to the Apollo Astronauts. So I ask, would it be possible to nest in the CSIRO. Thanks.

Hi David, I've added him to our category request page, I've got some others there to do, so should get them done tomorrow. smiley

Hi Margaret. Thanks. There's no immediate hurry. I have found a couple more people, not on WT, to add so far, not including the Honeysuckle Creek crew. I was surprised to find out that there were 90 people working at Honeysuckle Creek, at the time of the Apollo 11 landing, not to mention the crew at the other two Observatories.
