On 15 March 2009, NASA launched the space shuttle Discovery into space for the STS-119 Shuttle Mission.
But this was no ordinary launch.
Wildlife experts were called in to investigate a bat which had latched onto the shuttles` center tank that contains the liquid hydrogen and oxygen. After some deliberation it was decided that the bat was seriously injured, and if attempts were made to rescue it, that it would probably not live long.
So Discovery blasted off into space with the little critter attached to it, frying the dude in the process.
Poor Space Bat :(
