I'd love to read the story. I visited Telstar ground station in Pleumeur-Bodou, France once. There is museum there now, called "Cite des Telecoms". They preserved original horn-like antenna used for Telstar communication and lots of original equipment. If I remember correctly there is even old hydrogen maser displayed. Place worth seeing.
