And one day after the England semi final loss to "the fiery ones" the NASA deep impact twin towers were demolished:

Towers toppled at historic Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 17

July 12, 2018 — The last two launch towers to stand at Cape Canaveral since the dawn of the Space Age are no more. The twin mobile gantries at Launch Complex 17 (LC-17) were imploded Thursday morning (July 12), toppling the oldest remaining launch pad structures at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The United States Air Force's 45th Space Wing oversaw the demolition, which leveled the landmark towers just after 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT).

The space agency's first Mars rovers, Pathfinder and twins Spirit and Opportunity, lifted off on Delta II rockets from Complex 17, as did the Mars Phoenix lander and orbiters 2001 Mars Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor.

NASA's DAWN and NEAR asteroid missions launched from 17B. Deep Impact, which slammed a probe into a comet's nucleus in 2005, began from the same site.

The last launch from Launch Complex 17A was a GPS satellite atop a Delta II in August 2009. The final launch from 17B came two years later in September 2011 with NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, or GRAIL lunar probes. Now, with the six-decade-old towers removed, Complex 17 will continue on as a test bed for commercial lunar landers. Cape Canaveral-based Moon Express has leased the site to build and test its moon-bound robotic spacecraft.

And in MLS action the Impact defeated the Earthquakes 2-0
