On this day, one year ago, a small, insectivorous flying mammal clung on to the spaceship Discovery as the rockets ignited and the shuttle ascended into orbit.
Let’s all have a moment of silence as we remember space bat, and take inspiration from his story to live out our own dreams, no matter what the cost.
