Margaret Medcalf Award 2011 - Special Commendation
“This work links Western Australian social history to the international history of science and technology in a highly readable way. Its lively exploration of Carnarvon's critical role in support of NASA space missions reminds us that history in living memory is no less surprising than the events of long ago. The use of maps, cartoons, photographs and personal reminiscences enhance the appeal of an intriguing story."
