India To Launch Mars Orbiter "Mangalyaan" Tuesday

Posted by Unknown on from the first-time's-a-charm dept.

sfcrazy writes "On Tuesday (Mangalwaar) the Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) will launch the Mars orbiter Mangalyaan from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The spaceship will take over 10 months to reach Mars and, if everything goes well, it would make India the first country to send a payload to Mars in its first attempt, and would beat close rival China whose recent mission failed."

    YES, we've tried turning it off and on again, NO, we can't re-image it.

    Then you need to reinstall the Windows operating system from the cd that was included with your computing device. Please see your manufacturer's web site for more information about how to do that. Thank you, call again!

    Do you know what happens when the Martians capture humans? They kill the men immediately. They take the captured human women and subject them to brutal rape. The woman are raped anally, but also vaginally so as to cause impregnation and gestation of a hybrid fetus which kills the mother during the birthing process. When the human female hosts are close to giving the fatal birth, they are moved under restraint into a special communal maternity ward so that they can witness their future fate, having been surrounded by other surrogates who were further along than they are. The hybrid children of the downed and murdered are indoctrinated from a young age to kill all humans, appearing as unsettlingly humanoid as Jerusalem Crickets.

    And you were modded funny for this? You sick, sick fuck.
