Some radio talkshow host was talking about that, and he said "What's it matter if they're drunk? Its not like they have anything to hit up there. Plus, isnt the launch pretty much just them sitting there?" that really made me mad. astronauts have plenty to do during launch, not to mention the pre-launch.

Just goes to show the ignorance of most of the public with regards to the shuttle.
