Fuck Spacebat, RIP Spacefrog: Frog pops up in NASA photo of LADEE rocket launch

[quote]Oh my! We’re not sure to laugh or cry on this one (maybe both). This frog gives new meaning to “flying leap” (or giant leap). This little guy was obviously startled by the ignition of the Minotaur 5 rocket that launched the LADEE spacecraft last Friday.
We’ve confirmed this image is in fact an actual photo taken by one of NASA’s remote cameras set up for the launch from the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. Wallops spokesman Jeremy Eggers confirms the picture is legitimate and was not altered in any way.[/quote]

You do have an appropriate avatar for this.
So I'm guessing that the frog was in the pool linked to the deluge system, and got blown outta the water.
Imagine all the tiny adorable critters that get incinerated every time a rocket launches. :(

Oh man, I remember that level. I was crawling along at that part and it said "PRESS F TO PICK UP OBJECT" and I was like "huh." That thing flew like mad and ricocheted off everything it hit. Too bad none of the other animals did.
