A true hero indeed!!! If only I had the Space Bats dedication to "reach for the stars", no-one can ever again state that something is too difficult or too hard, he held onto the ******* shuttle....

Space Bat you will be missed...

I think it musta been communication difficulties across the vast reaches of space that Space Bat was communicating across to us, but I'm sure he meant to say "One small flight for A bat, one great leap for batkind."

Spyglass, truer words were never spoken. Your wisdom brings a tear to my eye. If we can all just Hold On, like Space Bat did on that ******* Space Shuttle, we can all get to where we wanna be. I don't particularly want to ride on the external fuel tank myself, but hey, what Space Bat accomplished, it's like an allegory or something. Really cool.

I just hope everybody who has seen this story can take a little bit of Space Bat's courage into their hearts when the chips are down, and hold on tight!

I love you and miss you Space Bat!
