    If the bat were to still be frozen clinging to the tank, after the shuttle reaches orbit the tank is released and it renters the Earths atmosphere very shortly thereafter. Plus nothing ever reaches Escape Velocity and is not going near enough fast enough to make it past Earth orbit.

    Vacuum cleaners are rated in "Amps" of power. you don't have a good vacuum unless it's rated at 10 amps or more. Of course this leads vacuum companies to design really inefficient motors that pull huge amounts of energy just to get the Amp Rating up high.
