@ Ed Davies: Thanks for clarification with the 12 hour rule. I thought it was ment the way you explained it, but was not sure because I am no native English speaker.
It is very sad that also in Germany the news was spreed the way “drunken Astronauts flying space shuttle”. This will be what people will remeber
Sigh….Wonderful World of Modern Media.

I really don’t know what NASA requires, but I think it’s that they don’t drink some time before the flight. CNN reported that alcohol was found in crew quarters. And… this is wrong how? Last I heard, NASA requires the crew not to drink some time before the flight - 24-48 hrs?

Plus, NASA is a very inefficient agency as most gov’t agencies are. The fact that it sent people to the Moon doesn’t make it better. It even takes people lives’ over finishing production of a certain “marvel” which is going to be three decades old at the time of completion.

Woohoo! And to think I stayed away from a career as an astronaut because all these years I thought I’d have to stay sober the whole time.

This whole thing reminds me of one of Jeff Foxworthy’s monologues:

“Houston, we’ve got problems. Ed’s done busted out the capsule winda tryin’ to hit a satellite with a beer bottle. And we need to know how to unstop the toilets–the boys ate all the freeze-dried chili and they’re tore up some’in bad!”
