[HAL9000]

The Aviation Week web server is having problems.

[Red Badger]

Maybe they are drunk......

[swarthyguy]

Make sure they don’t read ‘The Right Stuff’ which details the escapades of all those flyboys.

The Aviation Week web server is having problems.

Probably because Drudge is linking it on his page.

I’d need a drink before launching in that thing.

A new victim group! Astronauts!

[Steely Tom]

Fly the space shuttle?

Alcohol and liquid hydrogen don’t mix, you know.

[Brilliant]

They don’t really do much in the first few hours of flight anyway. The computer does it all.

Steve McCroskey: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Panel Finds Astronauts Flew While Intoxicated

I would be too!! Only way you'd get me in one of those rickety old government sponsored space buses or any other piece of junk funded by the government

[Liberty Valance]

Probably just a research study. Is a hangover worse at gravity or weightlessness ...

;o)

[LibWhacker]

Hmmm, this DOES surprise me. I’m surprised that NASA hires astronauts who have a problem with alcohol in the first place. ‘Course in my book, any adult who gets drunk has a problem with alcohol. I like to drink on occasion myself, but haven’t been “drunk” in 40 years, since I was a teenager.

On a somewhat related topic: if the synthahol in the Star Trek series didn't cause hangovers, why wasn't everyone walking-around blasted all the time?

[Chi-townChief]

I’d have to be really really loaded to get up in one of those.

[FReepaholic]

Wh..wh..where do I sign..*burp*..up?

[SkyPilot]

What a mess.

The astronaut program entered the world of bizarro when the police told us they found bondage pornography (including pictures of other women in bondage) in Nowak's car.

[elkfersupper]

BWI (blastoff).
