Facehugger & Rat on Falcon 9 during SpaceX launch on BBC livestream

Cropped at 5:20 and 6:15

doesn't look like a mouse at all 😂😂😂😂😂😂

For some reason the zoom in reminded of the teacher from The Incredibles trying to show his evidence of Dash running really fast

[SCFPV]

Considering how big those rocket engines are, that would have to be the largest rat known to mankind. 🤔

When you first see it having been told it was a mouse it's kind of kooky, but then you realize that's not a mouse

[theelephantintheroom]

It's chunks of ice sliding around but the idea it's a stray mouse is funny af

[johnpagan]

I’ve never been so disappointed in a video.

[manefox]

When I first saw this, it looked like it was scurrying but from this video if it is a rat, it’s clearly dead

[weshouck]

I see two things. The fist object seems to separate and roll off. But looking up and to the right I see something that does appear to be “scurrying” about.

[jramirez]

How fast does a rocket fly 0:57 ? Don’t they go like a few thousand miles per hour And you’re telling me objects are just slowly rolling around and slowly sliding off, shouldn’t they be like instantly disintegrating or flying off at high speeds? This literally looks like there’s a fan blowing in the front of the rocket and stuff is just swirling around

[arkhammemery]

Someone zoom the camera in one more time, this game worked better as 8-bit

[HALOCRAFT]

I think that's ice accumulating off of the over pressure valve to keep the fuel tank from over pressurising.

[yosefyomtov]

This is being filmed in a studio. The mice have made a home there and they were startled when they turned on the lights and special effects fan. Poor mice.

[nofatchxplzthx]

If you look really closely in the beginning when the object first moves you can see it melts and separates away from something, maybe plastic? I don’t think it’s ice because ice doesn’t melt like that. Also the “mouse” never turns around and mice and rats don’t walk backwards. Definitely not a living creature. The way it moves away at the end also looks like a piece of molten plastic getting stuck to the surface slightly as it moves

[thomasbirch]

Have I been seeing a different type of mouse my whole life? 😂

[delidivaed]

All the people are under a powerful spell

[Mikelaw]

That looks like debris stuck on that ledge.

[saltyhypsi]

Ok, I get there is no atmosphere but my question is how did the object move forward on the rocket if the rocket is propelling? Shouldn't it be at equal velocity in space not greater than the rocket itself?

[Neosapien]

That doesn't look like a mouse, not one little bit. People's imaginations are running wild.

[bushcraftbasics]

Maybe they asked one of the scientists what it was and they went and said while trying to figure it out " hmmm.. ice" and people understood that to be mice

[STREEEEEET]

I know you won't believe me but this is not the original rat video. I've seen the other one and it was clearly a rat, this looks like a piece of paper or something. It's as if they made a different version for damage control. That one was too obvious a rat. But hey, continue with your life, you have no reason to believe me.
