KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- A bat that apparently had trouble flying instead tried to hitch a ride on the space shuttle Discovery, NASA officials said.
The rodent was last seen clinging on the foam of the external tank of the space shuttle moments before the Discovery launched, officials said.
...
The crew of the Discovery safely docked at the International Space Station on Tuesday. It was unclear whether its stowaway was still clinging to the shuttle.
Since the bat was 'clinging' to the external fuel tank (which gets dropped), its highly unlikely it is still with the shuttle. Don' cha think?

Wow -- get an education -- since when are bats RODENTS?? Go look it up.
I hate CNN. Even my 7 year old knows that bats are mammals, not rodents.
Even my 6 year old knows that rodents are mammals, too! (But bats are not rodents)
They fixed it! CNN took out the "rodent" reference.
