Default Bat Rides Space Shuttle!
Wow! That little bat chose one heck of a way to go!

Quote:
At some point during the countdown, Spacebat—a Free-Tailed Chiroptera—was spotted latched to the foam of the external fuel tank, occasionally moving around but never letting go. Wildlife experts deduced that he had injured his wing and shoulder, leaving him with little chance of survival. He remained on the tank until launch. NASA's cold report?
"The animal likely perished quickly during Discovery's climb into orbit."







Wow!

In other news, the crew aboard the ISS has been finding a strange substance around the cabins. One was quoted as saying "If I didn't know better, I'd say it was bag guano!".

Go Spacebat Go!
