Would you like vodka with that Tang?

It looks like astronauts don't drink Tang after all.

Or if they do, they might mix it with vodka.

A report out this week claims that NASA astronauts have flown twice while intoxicated. And that apparently doesn't include astronaut Lisa Nowak's attempt to "fly" in a car and a pair of diapers from Houston to Florida this winter to confront a woman she perceived as a rival for the affection of a NASA colleague.

Who knew "the right stuff" really meant "the good stuff" as in the "top shelf" stuff?

In China, a Shanghai food company is partnering with the Scientific Research and Training Center for Chinese Astronauts to offer ordinary, earthbound Chinese the same food provided to China's astronauts, or, as they're called in China, taikonauts.

When will some enterprising marketing executive from Anheuser-Busch or Jack Daniels develop a partnership with NASA to offer ordinary Americans the "rocket fuel" that helps get American astronauts high?
