This isn't the first time a bat has attempted to travel into space. Another bat was seen clinging to the side of the external tank attached to the shuttle Endeavour on its STS-72 flight in 1996. .........

Coincidentally, an astronaut aboard that flight, Koichi Wakata of Japan, also flew on Discovery this week, making him the first spaceflyer to share two rides with bats.This guy must wear some funky after-shave or something:D

I guess he wanted to get to space realy bad... hitched a free ride... and forgot space is a vaccuum.:haha: (and we know what happens to animals that go into the vaccuum of space.)

Christ, what did Bush do now:06:

[Oberon]

Surely NASA should know by now that the animals you take into space to monitor their reaction to zero g go on the INSIDE of the shuttle?

One small flight for a bat, one giant leap for batkind!
