Last week, NASA set its LADEE spacecraft blazing on a course to the Moon. While the launch was visible from much of the East Coast, those spectators nearest the VA launchpad were afforded the most breathtaking views. One amphibious Virginian, in particular, was especially moved by the spectacle.
The frog in question can be seen about a third of the way from the top of the photo on the left hand side, its splayed physique magnificently, tragically and – admit it – rather comically backlit by the first stage ignition flare of a Minotaur V rocket.
