« on: May 16, 2015, 1615 UTC »
After 5 years of development and a few launch delays, Mexico will have to wait even longer for its new series of satellites.

The satellite was to be the first in a new series of communications platforms for the government.

The Mexicans should have went with those guys in Ensenada that put that killer whale on the moon back in 2004.

I've been trying to get Fansome to go into the whale oil business for a year. Now they're beaching themselves practically in his boyhood backyard.

That guy has a blind spot when it comes to whaling.
