No Drunk Astronauts

Good to know.

There is no evidence that astronauts have been drunk on flight missions, an investigation by US space agency Nasa’s safety chief has found.
His probe was prompted by a report that said Nasa astronauts had been cleared to fly while drunk at least twice.

Nasa safety chief Bryan O’Connor said he “was unable to verify any case in which an astronaut or spaceflight crew member was impaired on launch day”.
