Probe launch fails

ImageThe Imaginary Space Investigation Service (ISIS) confirmed today that the Marrrs-bound, multi-billion sheckle 'Explorer V' probe failed to launch correctly at the weekend because it was not plugged in.

Chief ISIS Orbital Insertion Specialist, Kurt Verngutson, explained that "The probe launch execution remained in a sub-optimal progression state following a static alignment disruption in the launcher power-systems."

The probe later launched 16 hours behind schedule when a cleaning lady mistakenly inserted the plug, instead of her hoover, at which point the earth was facing the wrong direction and the misguided booster sent the expensive probe plunging into the sun and whatnot.
