A town in Australia fined NASA for littering!
Esperance is a regional city in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. As funny as it might sound, this city was able to face off NASA and get some money out of them (well, not them exactly).
In 1979, pieces of the space station Skylab crashed onto Esperance after the craft broke up over the Indian Ocean. The municipality fined the United States $400 for littering. The fine was paid in April 2009, when radio show host Scott Barley of Highway Radio raised the funds from his morning show listeners, and paid the fine on behalf of NASA.
