I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.

They are still at work, i can find it hard to belive it would be acceptable to be drunk at work. Especially when your riding in a multi millon dollar craft…

At a bare minimum, I am willing to bet that it is an OSHA violation :lol:

Be that as it may, what I heard is that NASA has no regulation for bidding it and, to my knowledge, no one has cited a law forbidding it either.

How come they are allowed to drink like a whole week before a launch…?
GG

Because no one thought to make it a rule that they cannot. Make it a rule, then you can punish them for breaking it.

I’m pretty sur eI read that they have a 12 hour no drinking policy. In the army its 24 hrs, bu twe got guns:)

No idea if they do or not. However, a policy is not a law. It’s like with illegal aliens, I have no problem with them being here, I have a problem that they broke the law. Same with the astronauts, I don’t condone them working drunk, but they didn’t break the law.

Well again I will admit that I am not familiar with the NASA way of doing things, but in the army, as you are obviously aware, policies are inforcable under UCMJ. What you do in a military vehicle is the military’s buisness. I would suspect it is the same for NASA.
So…. the DUI thing is just silliness. But it is still a serious matter that should, and I’m sure will, be delt with.
-
Yes, but the UCMJ supercedes the Constitution. Also, as you are aware, you can be tried and convicted of a crime under the UCMJ and then again under the civilian courts. So I don’t think a civilian branch of government is the right place to apply the UCMJ. :P
Anyway, I said I don’t condone it, but as far as I can tell, they did not break any laws. Maybe a policy. But they probably have a policy about which way to tie your shoes, not exactly the equivalent of first degree murder, you know?

Flying a billion dollar space shuttle while drunk is a gross abuse of the property of the United States of America.
Aren’t most astronauts air force personnel? Court martial anybody?
