Swiss beaches are gorgeous this time of year. I’d go visit but I can’t find any Swiss-English translation books.

” oceangoing rocket pad in Switzerland.”
And you people made fun of Al Gore and his predictions for rising sea levels.
Looks like Al was right after all.
Word is the Swiss Navy has a very modern naval base in Geneva.

Global warming finally caught up with the Swiss! I knew the oceans were rising, but this is ridiculous.

Gee. I wonder why? Surprised they didn’t at least edit it. At most, remove it until they can find the Swiss canal. :>}

That’s SOP for SeaLaunch. I wonder where the Swiss angle came in.

I’m a little mystified. I read somewhere that the Russians had bought the company.

Sea Launch is based in Switzerland, but launches from the ocean near the equator. Since they are based in Switzerland, their press releases have a Switzerland byline, which obviously confused the Memorial Day Weekend skeleton crew at the Associated Press.
Here is Sea Launch's official press release for this launch:Sea Launch Successfully Launches EUTELSAT 3B
