Kermit, We Have Liftoff!

Frog jumps into space with NASA's Minotaur V rocket. No word on his condition.

By Todd Richissin

Let's acknowledge from the get-go that we're not jumping to any conclusions about this photo, this frog, this rocket and whether this really happened (or whether someone with time on her hands and a knowledge of Photoshop happened).

That said, the photo is from NASA, it's Friday, we can all use something a little fun to get us hopping into the weekend, so we're going for it. The photograph has been making the rounds on sites across the world.

That rocket launch of the Minotaur V on Sept. 6? The one that could be seen from Arlington?

Well, what you couldn't see is what this camera apparently did: This little guy and his silhouette in the blast of engines.
