Well let's be honest. We all know what happened to the frog. That close? Flung up that high? Probably from a steaming jet of exhaust smoke and flames shooting up from the vents in the ground. A sad, confusing, quick death.

… But on the other hand.

In this moment, this frog, was higher and closer to the heavens than any wild frog had a right to be. From whatever pond and egg it hatched from, fighting it’s way up from a nearly spineless creature to a humble frog, to this NASA launch pad in a series of nearly inconceivable events, this mere creature of Earth and Water came closer to the stars than a good majority of people on Earth here today. In this moment, Man was not the only one reaching for the stars.
