AMAZING PHOTO Frog blasted into air during NASA rocket launch

ByDarren O

Rocket Frog is amazing

That is the stuff of Kermit’s nightmares and also one of the most amazing images I’ve ever seen!

Universe Today has verified that the image you see above of a frog getting his four-legged life launched into the atmosphere is the genuine article and not altered in any way. The incredible shot comes from an actual photo taken by one of NASA’s remote cameras set up for the launch on September 6, 2013 from the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport.

So why would a frog be chilling out around a rocket launch site? Via UT:

The launchpad has a “pool” for for the high-volume water deluge system that activates during launches to protect the pad from damage and for noise suppression, and likely there was a (formerly) damp, cool place that was a nice spot for a frog to hang out.

I’m sure it was not a happy ending for this little hopper but I guess Rocket Frog figured it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

VIDEOS Amy Slanina fakes being pregnant to scam friends and prospective adoptive parents – and it’s not illegal!

ByAsa Hawks

Meet Amy Slanina, a 32-year-old woman who likes to tell people, including hopeful adoptive parents, that she’s pregnant in hopes of receiving attention and gifts. Read about her latest victims who went as far as to book a flight from Idaho to Pennsylvania only to find out when they arrived at the hospital that Amy was not only not pregnant, but was currently in prison for lying about being the abused spouse of a police officer so she could stay in a battered women’s shelter! (You can’t make this stuff up!) I also tracked down a video clip of Amy when she appeared on Dateline in 2006 for scamming two other hopeful adoptive couples under the name Christy Tidwell. Did I mention that unless she takes money from the people that this isn’t actually a crime?!?
