|
|
A panel reviewing health issues at Nasa has found that US astronauts have been allowed to fly while intoxicated at least twice, an aviation magazine says.
The panel also found heavy alcohol use within the 12-hour "bottle to throttle" ban for flight crew, according to Aviation Week and Space Technology.
The independent panel is due to present its findings later on Friday. Nasa has declined to comment on the allegations.
Separately, Nasa confirmed that a contractor had sabotaged a computer.
The damage to wiring in a network box - which is to be taken to the International Space Station (ISS) - was intentional and obvious, the agency said.
However, it stressed that the equipment was not essential and that astronauts' lives had not been at risk. An investigation is under way.

If they do, they drank it before coming back down to earth (in more senses than one). |
