Two friends. Comics, movies, tech, politics, markets. Named, tongue in cheek, for a bat that wouldn’t let go.

The name

A bat that wouldn’t let go.

March 15, 2009. A Florida free-tailed bat rode Discovery off Pad 39A. NASA hoped he would wake and leave. He did not. We stole the name. We even drew him a cape. That’s the joke — not the episode list.
