November 5, 2010 - Vandenberg Air Force Base. Begad! There was a sentimental blastoff from California on Friday night as t' venerable Delta 2 made its one-and-only flight o' t' year, chalkin' up a major milestone for t' rocket family's lastin' legacy while also finishin' deployment o' Italy's radar satellite quartet that images t' world for peace and security. Launchin' at 7:20 pm from Vandenberg Air Force Base, t' space booster that has defined dependability for two decades successfully shot t' COSMO-SkyMed 4 craft into orbit. Well, blow me down! It's t' last commercial mission currently booked for t' Delta 2 rocket, which faces an uncertain future in t' years ahead. Begad! Three launches carryin' satellites for NASA will occur in 2011, arrr, but whether t' program flies beyond next year depends whether five additional vehicles in inventory can be sold.
