And this one is for Lenny!
Probably revenge for that bird the ET hit on the way up during the
last Space Shuttle launch.

With Cape Canaveral being on a big wildlife preserve, I wonder how
many other animals meet their demise every time there is a launch?
Just don't tell PETA.
I always thought we should have had our space launches out in
the Southwest deserts like we used to with the V-2s and the Viking
rockets in the 1950s. Not so many critters, a lot less humidity,
and no hurricanes (at least not yet).
