Report: Astronauts Flew Drunk
An internal review at NASA revealed that some of their astronauts may have been drunk when they boarded shuttle missions into space. What do you think?
Al Payton,
Well Excavator
"This isn't a big deal. Astronauts are the best of the best. A drunk astronaut is as good as a sober commercial airline pilot."
Doris Snyder,
Tobacconist
"Um, when are NASA astronauts not drunk? They're being shot into outer fucking space!"
Lee Davis,
Beekeeper
"I'm just glad I'm not an astronaut and that I can get a decent buzz on at work without everyone freaking out."
