yep, you read that right.

i dont like to fly, so i can't imagine how plastered you need to get to make it to the moon...

friends don't let friends orbit the earth drunk

soo stupid!

"dude, you've had way too much to drink. you totally just did that martian girl in the corner! i cant let you fly like this, im gonna have to take your maximum security flight clearance card."

"noooo...I ....can...sheeeee.....jes...watch out for that.....

BAM!!!!!!!


Police confirmed the identity of victims aboard the crashed ISS when the shuttle hit....Cmdr Tank Johnson was pulled over when his shuttle was seen speeding 4 machs about the allowed interstellar limit. He refused to take a breathlyzer.

yall are too wild...:p:p

Can you imagine having a hangover at zero gravity?

ewwwww...:(

how about having the hangover and waking up next to an ugly martian the next day

When I was in elementary school I entered a poster in an alcohol awareness contest. It was the shuttle with a beer bottle as the external tank (the big orange-red tank). I wrote a caption that said something like “Would astronauts drink and fly? Then why drink and drive?” or something like that. I won first place but now I feel like a fraud.

How sad, but maybe after all of the time that it took them to get there, they just had a few?:)

LMAO at the responses above!

I heard about this on the news this morning, but what I wanna know is... Who let them board a spaceship and take off?

Friends don't let friends fly drunk.

Is .8 considered drunk in outer space?

They make the ones who forgot to bring their GLO pins do shots - or martiantinis.

What is the rule?

No smoking for 8 hours before flying and no drinking within 50 feet of the aircraft?

Wait...

how do they figure who will be the designated pilot in case everyone gets drunk?

this made my day, that's hilarious

what difference does it make? it would take a miracle to hit something!

i wonder if they play drinking games...spin the bottle probably gets interesting lol! then there's beer pong, 21 questions...

all that space debris....imagine we find out that the real reason why Columbia crashed was due to them running over a stray toilet bowl from Soyuz or Skylab that they coulda easily missed.
