It has not been reported widely, but there was a satellite outage over Australia over the last few days. Many of the Foxtel/Austar and NZ SkyTV channels were off air after an Optus satellite had some issues following slightly adjusting its position. Not much information is available on what went on, but some information is available on Whirlpool.

UKTV has had a documentory on called ‘To the Moon’. This has been a facinating story on the moon landing – detailing things I had no idea about some of the issues that were faced on the hostoric and epic voyage. One of the things that it told was the story of Earthrise, which I must say is one of the most fantastic photos ever taken. I don’t know why, but I always assumed that this photo was taken from the surface of the moon itself.
