Drunk in space

How did we ever land a man on the moon?

The bad PR continues to pile up for NASA with the revelation that a study found heavy use of alcohol by astronauts before launch.

On the same day, it was learned that a subcontractor had tried to sabotage the Space Station.

Of course, all this follows on the heels of the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up escapade of the diaper-wearing, cross-country driving attempted murder by a scorned Astronaut of her rival in a lovers' triangle.

In the face of bad news, the two choices are often to laugh or to cry so it was no surprise that producers within our newsroom launched into a torrent of possible headlines for NASA's latest fiasco. Choose your fav, or post your own suggestion in comments.

Blasted for blast-off
Lit up at lift-off
Liquored up for launch
Shloshed in space
Blitzed for blast-off
Weightless and wasted
Wasted in space
Hung over in the hangar
Mission imbibable

and my fav:
Houston...we have a drinking problem.
