Drunk Linkage
WASHINGTON: An independent NASA report has found that on two occasions astronauts were drunk before flying on space shuttle mission.
The US space agency, meanwhile, disclosed on Thursday in an unrelated case that wires in a computer box meant for the International Space Station were cut in an act of sabotage.
NASA officials told reporters that the sliced wires in the computer box would not delay the planned August 7 launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
"It will be repaired, and it will fly on this flight," NASA associate administrator Bill Gerstenmaier told reporters, according to the website Space.com.
