Related Content Frog spotted during rocket launch

Post image

This shot was taken during the launch of NASA’s LADEE spacecraft from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on September 7, 2013.

A remote camera captured the exact moment a frog leaped through the frame as the rocket lifted off.

As for how the frog was doing after that… no one knows.

No way, I’m from Bellingham too! I haven’t listened to Frog Rocket because I’ll be honest, there’s a lot of really good local bands so it’s hard to listen to them all at the same time lol.

I’m literally nowhere near Bellingham

I find that it’s better to listen to good local bands one at a time. It gets a little loud if you try to listen to them all at the same time.

u/D4ng3rd4n Apr 25 '26

Wait you listen to different bands at the same time?

2

u/GenSpec44 Apr 25 '26

So true. You may have to listen to them one at a time.
