...electronic wizardry was all the more impressive because the same carrier that transmitted voice signals to earth was made to handle TV as well.

From Parkes the signal was relayed overland to Sydney, flashed to the Moree Earth Station 200 miles to the north, beamed up to the Intelsat communications satellite 22,300 miles above the Pacific Ocean, relayed to Jamesburg, Calif., passed by microwave ground signal and coaxial cable to Houston and finally transmitted...
...that, space technology is only beginning to show its terrestrial worth.
