One of NASA's remote cameras capturing the launch of LADEE from the Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia on September 6, 2013 also snapped this unlucky frog caught in the aftermath.
Cue a eulogy for the frog:
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight Zero hour, nine a.m. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then.
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife. It's lonely out in space, On such a timeless flight.
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time ‘til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the frog they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket frog Rocket frog, burning out his fuse up here alone.
