Astronauts Drunk Before Launch, Report Says
12-Hour 'Bottle-To-Throttle' Rule Not Followed
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A report said that an independent health panel studying NASA astronauts found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch.
Aviation Week and Space Technology said the committee found that on at least two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly despite warnings from flight surgeons and other astronauts that they were so intoxicated that they posed a flight-safety risk.
