Jul 27, 2007 - Astronauts Flew While Drunk: Report - 5 comments

What kind of space program are we running these days?
Aviation Week is reporting that the panel found "heavy use of alcohol" by astronauts before launch, within the 12-hour "bottle to throttle" rule that applies to the NASA flight crew.
Nasa declined to comment, but asked for a cup of coffee and a tylenol.
No wonder we can't seem to get anywhere in the universe. I knew NASA operated like the Forest Gump of the aviation world but geeze.
Maybe they will have an in house clinic called NASA AA.
