Another NASA blunder goes public

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Another 'not so good' item about NASA has raised its ugly head last night on the news.

It has now been made public that 2 Astronauts (on seperate missions) were drunk.
One was drunk on a Shuttle take-off, the other was drunk on entering a Soyez craft.

Doesn't seem like NASA is enforcing their '12 hours from Bottle to Throttle' policy. One NASA spokesman said on the news today that they only enforce the rule in the Training stages of a mission.

I dont think driving a space ship with a few under the belt is covered by the Motor Traffic Act .
Still when you think of it maybe they need a few to face the fact they are going up there .

shouldnt be too much of a problem with that.It's not as if they are going to cause any major traffic accidents or run over any pedestrians or cyclists

Mmmm I wonder why my mind moves to office christmas parties... the things that go on that really should not go on ..behind the scenes.
