DUI at NASA? Story aired: Friday, July 27, 2007
NASA today is expected to discuss two startling reports of astronaut behavior and worker sabotage. A special panel created after the arrest of an astronaut in a love triangle has reportedly determined that on two occasions, astronauts were so drunk they posed a safety risk but were allowed to fly anyway. The panel's findings, first reported by Aviation Week and Space Technology, are to be released in a health report today. We talk to Frank Morring of Aviation Week and Space Technology.
