    Poor spacebat. Although Laika will always have my heart. Poor dog. You're 100x more awesome than me, even in death.

    Astronimal? Wasn't that a short-lived TV series in the 80s starring Simon MacCorkindale?

    Let's be honest. All of these animals, especially the cats, were pussies compared to SpaceBat. They went in the comfort of inside the shuttle.

    But SpaceBat?

    He wasn't having that.

    He grabbed onto the side,

    And waved his hat around during the ride.


    Gods bless you SpaceBatCowboy.

    @HeldForRansom_GitEmSteveDave: Sadly, I think SpaceBat technically didn't count as he/she burned up before actually reaching space.

    @HeldForRansom_GitEmSteveDave: SpaceBat was the reverse of Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove. Riding the bomb into the air, rather than to the ground.


    Yeeeehaw!

    @USB_Humping_Dog: I've seen ice form on those tanks. My theory is he found a hollow in the insulation, and DIDN'T burn up. However, he didn't survive in space. Now he's hurtling through space, next to a mirror with some screaming guy in it, and will eventually find a civilization that can revive him. They can rebuild him. They have the technology.


    Or maybe I need some sleep and inhaled to many fumes from the weedwhacker I was wielding tonight.

    @bosskev: Nope, a RedMax weedwhacker. I have ~10 acres of paddock/yard to mow, and you can't mow in the rain. So I slap on the metal blades and goto town w/the "brushcutter".

    So Blam, tell us the truth. Is it true that; In space, no one can make you wear pants? and if so, do the space curtains match the space carpet?

    I suggest someone put James Dolan on the shuttle, as his ashes STILL haven't made it into orbit.
