Maybe you knew already knew this, but despite practically being Neil Armstrong's next door neighbor, I just recently learned something: the Australians broadcasted the moon landing. They even made a movie about it.
The movie is aptly called The Dish and evidently more or less follows the true story of a small town's efforts to get live video feed around the world.
I wouldn't recommend watching this movie when you're sleepy, but if you're feeling educational on a rainy Saturday afternoon, I'm sure there're worse things you could do with your time. It might even give a chuckle or two -- if you can make out what they're saying.

The Dish is on my list of favourite movies. Tom Long's character (the nervous astronomer guy) is gold, and there's something just so perfectly Aussie about a high tech communication dish in the middle of a sheep paddock.
