An unfortunate frog at the launch of LADEE from the Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia on September 6, 2013.
A still camera on a sound trigger captured this intriguing photo of an airborne frog as NASA's LADEE spacecraft lifts off
from Pad 0B at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The photo team confirms the frog is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras used to photograph the launch. The condition of the frog, however, is uncertain. NASA: LADEE Frog Photobomb

I believe PETA should sit at the base near the engines on the next launch to make sure no frogs get near enough to be injured

Actually, the frog parachuted to safety.

oh, I'll go out on a limb and say I'm quite certain about the condition of that frog.
