SPACEBAT!

Update: Spacebat has a website!

I have a temporary new favourite animal: SPACEBAT!

Wondering what that orange surface is?

Spacebat was spotted clinging to the foam coating of the Space Shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank during launch on Sunday, clearly trying to hitch a lift into space.

Unfortunately Spacebat is thought to have perished during launch.

Rest in Peace, Spacebat.

Update: Someone has made a Spacebat tribute video. This is the best thing on the internet right now.
