Makes you wonder whether any of the NASA disasters would be classified
as "accidents where alcohol was involved"?

        Without helpful Seans at the helm Commander and super advanced
vector to vector computer guided Starships what do you expect. At least
if and when we make it to Mars the Seans have net promised to pick us up
and don't worry we'll Team be for off duty packing only the best
spirits, wine, and beer too.

Our first impulse these days is to be aghast and horrifounded at
astronauts boozing, and then to joke and kid about it. But we've lost
sight of the earliest days of the program, when astronauts were chosen
from the ranks of fighter pilots and test pilots, to whom hard
drinking was part and parcel of life. But a hard-and-fast rule was to
abide by the (then 8 hour) 'Bottle to Throttle' proscription. For
example see-

oc  Shuttle Mafia is built on lies. It has coned the public for 40
years. They lied when they tell us a 1 pound piece of Styrofoam knocked
of that heat tile that case the Columbia to explode. Fact is heat tiles
have come off in every flight.       When they wheel Endeavor back in
its hanger before Aug 7 there will be tiles on the ground (like always)
I think to go aboard such a piece of crap you would be out of your mind
sober.  Vodka would be by choice,or boiler makers.   bert

I understand that Chuck Yeager was not unfamiliar with those test
pilot watering holes.

I defy anyone to diagram this verbal smear thinly disguised as
communication.

A plausible hypothesis.

Painius   I find it hard to believe any of the astronauts were drunk on
blast off.  I find it hard to believe after those 21 engineers quite
because they could not live with themselves knowing how unsafe the
shuttles are,and yet six months later 6 astronauts blasted off in the
Columbia.  I could never blast off in a shuttle without having a good
jolt first.   bert

OTOH, sitting on top of a huge load of explosives, which are controlled by
thousands of components delivered by the lowest bidder and about to be
hurled into space while relying on the flawless functioning of the above
mentioned parts, being drunk seems to be a reasonable condition.

Isn't that the reason it's called 'blast off', 'getting blasted',
etc ...
