Sometimes, when life in my one-horse town is slow, I turn to CNN to find things to blog about. Here is an interesting one, albeit disturbing (click on the link to see). I think it's bizarre and downright awful that astronauts might have been allowed to board the shuttle drunk, so much so that they posed a flight risk. Every pilot I know (including Mr. Strega when he was taking flying lessons) doesn't have alcohol for at least eight hours before flying (it's called the "bottle to throttle" rule). NASA states they are going to investigate, as these claims have not yet been substantiated.
Wow...can you get a DUI from flying the shuttle under the influence?
Mr. Strega's comment was that, since it's an international flight, cocktail service should be free!
