Bottle to Throttle
Man o man…I was never so interested by astronauts. I thought they were boring goody-goodys (not that I’m one to talk). Going up in a space shuttle never seemed all that exciting to me, nor did going to the moon. More like a long trip to nowhere, where everyone wears the same, cumbersome outfit.
But. First there was the love-crazed lady astronaut who may or may not have been wearing diapers. This is how I learned that astronauts wear diapers, which of course piqued my interest. Diapers? That’s a little…different. Something to write home about. It got me wondering what else astronauts are up to.
Looks like they’re getting wasted! Woah! Way cool! My kind of astronauts!
Seems NASA’s got a 12-hour “bottle to throttle” rule. Even so, some have gone into space after being deemed too drunk to be on the shuttle, and it’s happened on more than one occasion.
This whole thing a) makes me wanna know more about the sick, sick world of being an astronaut, and b) reminded me of a Liam Lynch podcast I watched the other day. Wanna see?
Do you think that’s what NASA has been dealing with?
Maybe I should find a bad boy astronaut husband…
NASA is gonna talk about naughty astronaut behavior tomorrow. They’re gonna, like, have a news conference. A news conference totally, totally, totally, totally, totally on the findings of a panel created to investigate naughty astronaut behavior.
Can’t wait! If anyone has any more astronaut insider info, please, do tell!
astronaut, naughty, diaper, drunk, bottle to throttle, NASA
UPDATE: O NASA, o woe, o woe. Sabotage? Someone has sabotaged the space computer? Mayhem and intrigue! What’s next?
Someone needs to start on either the NASA soap opera or the NASA one hour cable TV ensemble drama.

Yes, NASA got into trouble this time.
This shows you that deep under the skin even austronauts are just people, probably afraid of the flight.
