NASA Finds Cocaine Near Space Shuttle Discovery
NASA has sniffed out an employee getting high on cocaine in a shuttle processing hangar at Kennedy Space Center.
A NASA shuttle worker found a plastic bag of white cocaine outside a bathroom. The worker informed security and later 200 workers were tested for the drug.
Bob Cabana, a former astronaut and director of Kennedy Space Center said, This is a rare and isolated incident, and I’m disappointed that it happened, but it should not detract from the outstanding work that is being done by a dedicated team on a daily basis. We are conducting an investigation and working with center security and law enforcement officials to get to the bottom of it.

Well, if they can’t get off the ground, at least they can get high. All kidding aside, with all of the security clearance screening and employee drug testing this is hard ot believe. Maybe the got it wrong. Perhaps instead of cocaine it was really anthrax. (Just kidding — again!)

Amazing they employed someone that would snort coke next to a shuttle hangar. I think they need better screening for their employees.
