In The New Camelot, Frank White explores the relationship between the Camelot myth and the Overview Effect (a term he coined in his book by the same name). He focuses on the relationship between the stories told of King Arthur's court and the administration of President John F. Kennedy, with particular emphasis on the Apollo lunar program. White suggests that the Apollo astronauts were modern "Grail Knights," and that the Overview Effect is the modern "Holy Grail" that is needed to take the next steps in human evolution.
