Panel Finds Astronauts Flew While Intoxicated

You should not drink and fly to space. After the Lisa Nowak arrest. a review found that they were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and others warned they were so intoxicated that they posed a flight-safety risk.

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.
