So what's the big deal?
Supposedly, after drinking heavily, maybe one or two of our astronauts flew a spacecraft. At least that is what an independent panel of experts is alleging to NASA and the American public.
Am I missing something? I have always assumed that anyone willing to sit their ass down on several thousand pounds of rocket fuel in order to be hurled into space would either have to be a full-tilt bozo or irreparably gassed to the gills.
Have we all forgotten the words of this country's very first astronaut, Jose Jimenez, when he said, "I always take a blast before I take off."?
And the rest, as they say, is Jistory.
Jose Jimenez
"Jouston was a great town for jitting on chicks and joisting a few."
So, now I'm guessing that they are going to forget all of the advice that pioneers like Jose have given the program and will insist on a breathalyzer test for all astronauts before lighting the fuse on one of NASA's Roman candles. This, of course, will also mean an all female crew of astronauts from now on.
OH YEAH! It was long ago established that men harbor the gene that tells them: "Two drinks are good, but fifty will make you President of the World."
Women, on the other hand, are in possession of the gene that requires them to whine: "Dear, haven't you had enough?"
Sad... This will set the space program back years. Recently I was told that some of our female astronaut cadre have been just a little too busy driving non-stop between Houston and Orlando while wearing a diaper. Hmmmm.

Drinks anyone?
