Report: Drunk astronauts allowed on shuttle

"Aviation Week & Space Technology, a weekly trade journal, reported the finding from the panel on its Web site.

Shenanigans like this and shuttle disasters cause me to wonder if letting the Government always handle space travel is always a good thing. We need more privatization!
