"On a cool spring eve March 15th, 2009 a bat, crippled and wistful, clung to the Space Shuttle Discovery as it was thrust toward the great beyond. Goodbye and godspeed, my magnificent Spacebat...
...Bereft of his ability to fly and with nowhere to go, a courageous bat climbed aboard our Discovery with stars in his weak little eyes. The launch commenced, and Spacebat trembled as his frail mammalian body was gently pushed skyward. For the last time, he felt the primal joy of flight; for the first, the indescribable feeling of ascending toward his dream—a place far away from piercing screeches and crowded caves, stretching forever into fathomless blackness.
Whether he was consumed in the exhaust flames or frozen solid in the stratosphere is of no concern. We know that Spacebat died, but his dream will live on in all of us."
An alternate interpretation:
"I'll just rest here for a second, my shoulder is killing me. Hey, this orange tree is really sticky. Can't . . . get. . free. Why is everything shaking? What's going . . . ooonnnnnn? Hooooollllllllyyyyyy SSSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIII.........!!!!!"http://i.gizmodo.com/5173385/shuttle%20riding-bat-dies-the-most-glorious-death-imaginable (http://i.gizmodo.com/5173385/shuttle%20riding-bat-dies-the-most-glorious-death-imaginable)

Peta will throw a hissy fit over this.
For the next shuttle launch, they will try to prevent it by strapping themselves to the rocket
I hope...................

It'd be hilarious if they strapped themselves to some inconspicuous spot that no one could see, hence the launch never being stopped...... :lol
And then imagine what happens to the PETA "representative" whilst going 17,000mph.... Oh, the possibilities.... :rofl

I rather like thinking about what it would be like from them if the survive until after they exit the atmosphere.

If his shoulder was so badly hurt, how the hell did he get all the way up there?
In two weeks,(when the AH2 update comes out) Spacebat will resurface to tell his harrowing tale on Dr. Phil. And Oprah will open a new school to help all the dis-enfranchised Mammalian-Americans and spread awareness of their struggle for the right to fly on the inside of the shuttle, like everyone else.

:salute Space Splat umm Bat

You're looking at it backwards. He got "up there" on his way down. He was auguring when he ended up there instead.

I'll sound like a wussy, but I will admit when I read that story yesterday I kind of felt bad for the poor fella... had a fun ride probably, then couldn't hold on and fell into the flames and burnt :(
<S> Spacebat you will not be forgotten.

May THE GREATEST BAT THAT EVER LIVED GET HIS SALUTE!
In the annals of history there has been many a famous bat as is the example of space bat. I would like to remind every one of those who gave their batty lives for their country during world war two. Lest we forget their names.
