REAL LIFE NEWS: NASA DENIES STORIES OF DRUNKEN ASTRONAUTS

by Hazed

NASA now says that there is no evidence to support the allegations that astronauts had been flying drunk. Having reviewed the last ten years of missions, they've found absolutely nothing to suggest that crews have been hitting the bottle before missions.

This is contrary to the allegations made by a panel of health experts, which I told you about a few weeks ago.

Administrator Michael Griffin said: "Right now, we've gone back 10 years and we can't even find where it would be a possibility there was crew under the influence on either a Soyuz or a shuttle."

Shame - it was such a great story!
