NASA spokespeople have acknowledged in the last few days that astronauts have been drunk while flying on space shuttle missions. That should be reassuring to everyone.
It was also reported this past week that a NASA employee had intentionally sabotaged equipment for an up-coming shuttle mission.
All this comes at a time when NASA and the Department of Energy are talking about expanding plans to launch nuclear powered payloads into space for their Moon and Mars missions that will ultimately be used to establish permanent mining colonies on these planetary bodies.
NASA tells us not to worry - all of their missions carrying nuclear power into space are safe. Forget sabotaged equipment and drunken astronauts.
All is well at NASA.
Should we continue to pour our precious tax dollars down the dysfunctional NASA rat hole?
