Fan groups and the BBC have released reconstructions of missing episodes, matching photographs from the episodes with the soundtracks. Two episodes of The Invasion were reconstructed using animation and released with the surviving episodes of that serial on DVD. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes)
Unlike the Apollo program missions, which took three days to reach the Moon, GRAIL will make use of a three- to four-month low-energy trans-lunar cruise via the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L1 to reduce fuel requirements, protect instruments and reduce the velocity of the two spacecraft at lunar arrival to help achieve the extremely low 50 km (31 mi) orbits with separation between the spacecraft (arriving 24 hours apart) of 175 to 225 km (109 to 140 mi).

To a certain extent, but not all that far. A fair amount of POTS calls hit the Internet when they get to the local/regional call center. VOIP (from my understanding) mostly really only matters between the Verizon substation and your home.
Not quite as interesting as this (or maybe it is), but my high school allows students to maintain the Linux network running the school website, student Intranet, email, files, etc. etc. The Windows people maintain the AD servers, network, ~1000 workstations, ~300 laptops, and some student files (100mb/person - tiny) and they leave the rest to us. Got a grant from Sun though so we're slowly taking over with *NIX stations. Our lab has been student-run since ~1989 and is still going strong. We use Debian for the servers running AFS for files, Gentoo on ~50 workstations, Solaris for the AP Computer Science lab and ~15 Sun Rays around the school (and growing), SunLDAP for auth with the Windows AD servers, and more.

At least your school's admin was full time. The admin at my school was also a gym teacher :)
