QuoteA small bat that was spotted blasting off with the space shuttle Sunday and clinging to the back side of Discovery's external fuel tank apparently held on throughout the launch.http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20090318/sc_space/bathungonforarideintospace (http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20090318/sc_space/bathungonforarideintospace)
NASA hoped the bat would fly away before the spacecraft's Sunday evening liftoff, but photos from the launch now show the bat holding on for dear life throughout the fiery ride.
That poor little bat. :icon_tears:
