The unfortunate frog

Via American Digest and this site, this photo from the launch of the LADEE at Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia, September 6th.

   "A still camera on a sound trigger captured this intriguing photo of an airborne frog (upper left in photo) as NASA's LADEE spacecraft lifts off from Pad 0B at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The photo team confirms the frog is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras used to photograph the launch. The condition of the frog, however, is uncertain."

Condition uncertain my patootie.  His condition was fried to a crisp.

  1. Photo shopped?

    Presuming that you could retrieve the frog before it became a cinder, you might want eat the legs - but the hydrazine fuel could be hazardous to your health.
