Delta 4 Inaugural Launch A Success

Posted by chrisd on from the can-i-have-one-too dept.

brandido writes "Space.com is reporting that the Delta 4 has lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 5:40 pm EST. According to the Article: 'Boeing's Delta 4 has lifted off from pad 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Everything appeared to be working normally with the rocket as it made its initial climb out over the Atlantic Ocean during the first minute.' It will now take the two-stage rocket some 37 minutes to deliver the Eutelsat W5 spacecraft to orbit, so keep your fingers crossed all continues to go well.'" Looks like everything went swimmingly well.

    • What use can there be for at least 37 pads on one base?
    Well, your mom's bloody pussy for one. She bleeds like no man when she's on the rag.

    Hey there, sport! I'm pretty certain you meant "too bad" up there. Because 'to' and 'too' are 'two' different words, LOLZ. Love you, keep an eye out for motherfuckers.

    My period is going swimmingly as well, Stan. Really.

    Ok let me explain. In an episode of South Park, a colon infection gets a couple of the kids, and they start bleeding out their asses. The four boys mistake this for having a period, and so Cartman and Kenny start their own club for those who are "maturing". In this club meeting, after Stan BSes that he got his period, he says his period is going "swimmingly". That's where it comes from.
