From the article, which covers the Space Bat phenomenon and it's implications to science jornalism:
According to the Nature article, the bulk of science communication is now being done over the web. Scientists are blogging, research institutes are twittering, and sites like eurekalert.org are collating the press releases that feed the science media machine. SpaceBat, for example, probably appeared in a couple hundred newspapers but, in the days since his fiery, furry demise, has spawned over 25,000 Google hits, a tribute website, and a YouTube tribute video with nearly 120,000 views.


What genius created a video and a memorial website!!! If only we had the same blood running through our veins...all involvement and attempts at unimaginable fetes of both danger and optimism would be news! what a positive world that would be eh? well done space bat team!
