"after officials stalled lift-off to avoid a mystery object in its flight path." ! wonder what it was!

“One of the largest rockets ever built”? A Delta IV Heavy has a little over a third of the launch mass of a Shuttle, and less than a quarter of a Saturn V’s. All right, there have only been four classes of superheavy launch system, but that’s still a bit misleading.

Oh wait, it’s the Mirror. Never mind.

A russian spy satellite spying on the launch of the american spy satellite?

Either that, or the launch site was just rolling under the resident Coriolis.

Ha... I didn't even know it was a game. I remember it from Mad magazine... a must-read from the sixties.

I wish I'd known about that... I had an old Apple II for a while in the eighties.
It was/is? a brilliant cartoon strip... no words, just great drawings, and occasionly you got Spy vs Spy vs Spy, introducing a 'femme fatale' element.
Drawn by a Cuban artist, I think.
