Here's one for the WTF? file:

Drunk astronauts trigger Nasa shake-up - Times Online

Nasa managers could be hauled before Congress to answer claims that they ignored doctors’ advice and let space shuttle astronauts fly while drunk.

What there going to run another shuttle of their path, have a head on collision, run over some kid. I don't see what the big deal is when they have all of space to fly around. I wonder what a hang over feels like in space? Or puking in you space suit and having your puk floating around in your helmet. How could you make them walk the solid line as they would float away.

Classic. I like this quote.

“Let’s face it, astronauts are a bunch of brothers and sisters and they’ll cover each others’ backsides....Who knows what the role of the particular ones was to be. If he was just to sit in the middle seat somewhere and just be a passenger, you kind of say, ’Well, gee, I hope he doesn’t vomit on the way up.’”

Man, that's so unfair! I wan't to get drunk and ride on the space shuttle.

What I want to know is are they taking booze up to space with them? I mean c'mon how pathetic is that. These missions cost millions of dollars and we've got drunk astronauts floating around up there?

Pathetic.

I bet it's a great feeling to be buzzed and experience weightlessness! That sounds like fun!

Next they are going to install one of those devices that you have to blow into before you can start the shuttle.

When the shuttle takes off do these guys even do anything or is it all run from the station on ground. The only thing I ever see them doing is floating around in space doing flips and stuff. Now that I think about it maybe thats because they are drunk.
