We wondered if it was Cindy Al Sheehan but that would be pigs in space.

Got a great view of the Shuttle/ISS as they went overhead this evening. Strange, but large flocks of what I thought were geese, kept interrupting my view in the dark. Maybe I should have looked closer.

It was not the first bat to land on a shuttle during a countdown. Previously, one of the winged creatures landed on the tank during the countdown to launch shuttle Columbia on its STS-90 mission in 1998. That animal flew away as the engines ignited.Huh. An actual, recorded instance of "flying like a bat out of Hell!"

Alright, that’s it. We’re shutting NASA down. One bat’s life is more important than our entire space program.

Does that make the Shuttle a Batmobile?
