We mourn the loss today of a small free-tailed bat that tried to make it into space on the Discovery mission this past Sunday. The bat was last seen resting on the foam that coats the external tank of the space shuttle. He appeared to be injured and therefore, disoriented, but suspicions are now bubbling to the surface over a possible connection with the Pixar animated film Wall-E. Friends and family of the deceased have sited that he recently enjoyed a quiet evening in watching the film, in which a young robot ventures into space to follow his one true love, while clinging to the outside of a space shuttle. The most recent romantic interest of this young bat declined to comment. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (located next door to NASA's space launch pads), the home of the this beloved little bat. Cheers to you young bat, all of us here at Meridian 13 News wish you all the best in your upcoming journey.
This is Cynthia Meridian wishing you a pleasant day.
Meridian out.
