R.I.P. Space Bat

Spacebat was daring and brave, and had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy." He had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. He wished to serve, and he did. He served all of us.

413 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, "He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it." Well, today we can say of Spacebat: His dedication was, like Drake's, complete.

Spacebat honored us by the manner in which he lived his life. We will never forget him, nor the last time we saw him, as he prepared for his journey and waved good-bye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."

This would have been awesome if you had spelled Silence correctly...

[lordvervex]

It's the British spelling.

Pretty sad that you had the nerve to use Challenger footage for this. Total disrespect to Challenger families.

[lordvervex]

Sir I think you are lost, this is the internet.

[chuyton]

lmao at the people who think this was all for the "space bat" all this footage was from the discovery shuttle explosion in 89

[lordvervex]

I have a feeling that it isn't Space Bat these people are upset about.

@rjholling what, to soon?

[ddfan4life]

I don't know what is more ridiculous, the fact that some people think this footage is for a bat and that you're too stupid to know it's from when the space shuddle exploded. Not to mention how insensitive it is to use this footage from a tragedy for a fucking joke.

[rjholling]

Very distasteful to use footage from STS-51L and make a joke out of it.

Awsome loved it!, as you can see i still remember i am looking for it

Cheers, and for all the peop. that complains, if you do a search for Challenger you get the good tribute video, This is A1, i think it was pretty nice to do so!,

Anyway Let me tell you this, Kennedy was in 1963,Challenger 1986,9/11 2001,

Wake up you guys are living in the past, go forward, enjoy life, let the pass take care of the pass and lets take over the furure and build it so the shit that happens will never happen..
