Wasn't even wednesday
I've decided this is my personal head canon for the origin of Kerbal Space Program.
That right there, that's Jeb prime, Jeb 0, being blasted into the Kerbal dimension.
This kills the frog.

So satellites are not vegan?
Patrons are kindly requested to refrain from eating the satellites.
I'm not gonna not eat something that I've paid for. *muffled between bites* Otherwise, what's the point *swallows well-chewed aluminum foil* of paying for things?
Well, not Jain at least.

Are we sure on the scale of this picture? That could easily be a man in a clean room suit from a long way away.
there is no scale in this picture, frogs don't have scales. however they do have a halfshell in their more rambunctious teenage years. on this half she'll you might use ffmpeg to scale the image to any size you want!
Oh, cuz NASA said it? They literally said that the fate of the frog is unknown, which likely means they didn't find it. Which means that they didn't confirm if it was a faraway scientist in a clean room suit wearing hand and foot flippers.
Both seem equally as likely.

Brotheeeer!!
Whee! I can see my home from here!
When youβre not having the day you woke up thinking you were gonna have.
Frogs, sacrificing their lives for science since it's beggining

Anyone else feel like that frog lately
I wish

I can see my house from here!
"Nasa" rocket launch you mean. It was private dickhead billionaires back then as now. Nasa paid the bill for these billionaires' companies to both build the rockets and run the missions, getting the glory and sharing all the information with the government paying the bill and then some.
I believe it was this launch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LADEE
Well, they have a point:
Minotaur V was developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (now absorbed into Northrop Grumman) and made its maiden, and to date only, flight on September 7, 2013, carrying the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) spacecraft for NASA.
In my opinion, commissioned by NASA is also NASA rocket, though
Thanks, I focused on the cargo but that makes sense.
Little dude looks like he's about to destroy Konoha
Slippy noooooo!
Not the right way to boil a frog.
Not the wrong way either.
THAT was 13 years ago!?
I feel old..
This would go hard as a metal album cover
Frogget launch
Using Pocket Paint, I give the late amphibinaut an unofficial mission patch... Go mission One Giant Leap!
TO THE STARS!
The photo is entirely recontextualised when you know the frog is just levitating there.
"what the FUCK is happening???" -the frog, probably
You may be killed at any moment by forces beyond your comprehension, and sometimes, it will be hilarious.
