  The past decade has seen Parkes once again involved in a wide range of space
tracking activities that have added to its illustrious legacy. This
contribution is a personal recollection of those tracking efforts - both real
and celluloid. We begin in a light-hearted vein with some behind-the-scenes
views of the popular film, "The DISH", and then turn to more serious
contributions; discussing the vital role of the telescope in alleviating the
great "traffic jam" at Mars in 2003/04 and salvaging the Doppler Wind
Experiment as the Huygens probe descended though the atmosphere of Saturn's
largest moon, Titan, in mid-decade. We cap off the decade with a discussion of
the search for the missing Apollo 11 slow-scan TV tapes.
