There should be be thorough investigation of this most likely catastrophic (to the frog) incident. The "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Frogs" (SPCF) is demanding NASA and the federal government form an investigative committee to study this issue and make sure this never happens again. The SPCF has been instrumental already in banning frog legs (yummy) from many restaurants and food outlets. Already many politicians of the liberal persuasion are on board with this concept. There has been a 2 million dollar study proposed to ensure the protection of the local frog population. Electronic sensors that can detect the presence of a frog will immediately and automatically shut down the launch sequence have been proposed. Then a select group of SPCF personnel can scour the area for the offending amphibians. As a direct result of this incident the RHPS, (The Rabbit Hearing Protection Society) wants an investigation to see what happens to the local rabbit population as a res! ult of rocket noise. The government has allotted a half million dollar study for this problem. Again the same politicians are looking into this. We must protect the most helpless among us if we want to conquer space.

Speaking of low cost rides, years ago a rather large green beetle landed on the windscreen in front of me just as the tower gave us takeoff clearance. As the speed built, he hunkered down against the wind. Somewhere around 100 kts first one leg, and then another came unstuck, and he blew off. I always hoped that he missed the engine. It was an MD-80, so the air flow might have taken him to it. But he had determination.
