Mar 20, 2009: Bat-ronaut
You may have seen this picture of a Mexican Free Tailed Bat, that hiched a ride on the Space Shuttle's last shot.

It seems the bat was hurt, and probably couldn't, or was afraid to, leave it's perch. Quote:

I still say he is up there on the longest glide home and is going to show up in a few weeks at the bat cave with some awesome stories.

maybe we should adopt spacebat as cellar mascot? We surely have enough flaming and some batty behavior. and if what sheldon says about his rocket is true......
We could invite spacebat sponsors to hit the tip jar and receive a portion of his ashes in the mail with a certificate of authentication....

Does anyone else find it odd that the Kennedy Space Center is located in a wildlife refuge? And do you think the siren are really going to scare anything off? I mean all the animals probably have hearing issues due to take offs anyway.
