Astronauts Aim Really High

Lindsay Lohan doesn't need rehab, she needs to join the space program.

CAPE CANAVERAL -- At least twice, astronauts were allowed to fly after
flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a
flight-safety risk, an aviation weekly reported Thursday, citing a special panel
studying astronaut health.


The independent panel also found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch that
was within the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule, according to Aviation
Week & Space Technology, which reported the finding on its Web site.
