OK, game idea for someone: Space Frogger. Mr Toad tries to dodge orbital debris & marauding aliens on his way to Venus.

Why the heck are we launching rockets on top of a wildlife refuge? https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=nasa&data=!1m4!1m3!1d...

Was the flying performed on the frog's part, or was it assisted by the 360,000 pounds of thrust coming out of the rocket?

Best line in the caption: "...the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has an agreement with NASA to use the NASA-owned portion of Wallops Island for research and management of declining wildlife in special need of protection."

Hope that frog wasn't one in special need.

Hopefully NASA works to make certain the launch area is clear of small critters in the future. It's really not good PR to be blasting frogs (or anything) with a few hundred thousand pounds of rocket exhaust.

How does this go with the space bat?

what if one of it's ancestors once thought, i would like to fly like one of those things. a few generations of evolution later you have a flying frog. sadly that's not how evolution works.

Looks like someone misunderstood the cooking directions for the bullfrog.
