End of an era: Final Delta IV heavy rocket carries NROL-70 on historic mission

Missing the most important piece of info about any NRO launch, the mission patch! Meow! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nro.gov&#x2F;portals&#x2F;135&#x2F;assets&#x2F;img&#x2F;L-70_Snow-Leopard_1920px.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nro.gov&#x2F;portals&#x2F;135&#x2F;assets&#x2F;img&#x2F;L-70_Snow-Leopard...</a>

We changed the URL from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spacedaily.com&#x2F;reports&#x2F;End_of_an_Era_Final_Delta_IV_Heavy_Rocket_Carries_NROL_70_on_Historic_Mission_999.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spacedaily.com&#x2F;reports&#x2F;End_of_an_Era_Final_Delta...</a> to an article that seems to have more background information.<p>Is there a better article available? If so, we can change it again.
