On the whole, astronauts exhibit clear signs of pathological narcissism (with very notable exceptions - e.g. real right stuff people like Grunsfeld, Massimino, Kelly, Gibson..) and particularly the female members. A review of their backgrounds indicates that many of these people have no particular skill other than ruthless competitiveness. In interviews they often seem hollow and distant, classic traits of the pathological narcissist. NASA's only real mission is to survive, so they tolerate it.
Get the story straight bitch ,a NASA review released Wednesday 8/29/07 found no evidence that astronauts flew aircraft or spacecraft while under the influence of alcohol
Wow! In a world devoid of critical thinking and awash in meaningless sound bites, this Mr. Oberg is like a breath of fresh air. If I ever realize my goal of becoming Earth's Dictator for Life, I promise to empower Mr. Oberg with the authority to go around slapping any news people caught spreading nonsense or found culpable in the dumbing down of America.
Is this really that important right now for national attention? Does not kinda of remind you of Mr. Gonzalez. Seemed like he was trying to walk around the question. Hmm... thou he does have a point but I just think he as a asternaut train is lacking in the speach skills like our lovely politicians.
The anchorman's description of Mr Oberg as merely a 'former Nasa trainee' was mistaken, and severely downplays Oberg's knowledge & experience. Oberg was a NASA engineer for over 20 years, and received awards for his work in orbital rendezvous techniques and mission planning. As far as I know, he was never an 'astronaut trainee'.
@FlyingFoxOz Show me his documentation that he was a NASA engineer... otherwise he is just a guy selling books. I mean fair is fair, because he demands documents from others like Ken Johnston and Clark C. McClelland
At least this explains why the Safety Study NASA was commissioned to do on drunk flying was covered up LOL (google it)
@standauffish Yup, I've known Jim since mid-70s, visited him at Houston Space Flight Center. He had a 22-year career as a space engineer in Houston, where he specialized in NASA space shuttle operations for orbital rendezvous, as a contractor employee. He worked at the Johnson Space Center in Houston 1975-1997. He was named by the NASA-Area "Association of Technical Societies" as their 1984 "Technical Person of the Year".
Evidently 'get your story straight' goes for you too. Rumors? Have you read the transcript of the July 27 news conference? Responding to questions from the members of the press the chairman of the review committee said specifically that the incidents referred to in the report related in once case to a T-38 flight following a cancelled Shuttle mission. He also referred specifically to prelaunch ceremonies in Russia.
Chill dude! Nothing I wrote above is anything but a statement of fact. You may not like those facts but that doesn't make them bullshit. As I pointed out (and you ignored) the facts (not rumors as you suggest) are that the problem, if it occurred at all, was not on the Shuttle--which was one of Jim's points.
@jackj2003 Yeah I noticed that too denying while confirm LOL JimO at his finest. I would like to hear his explanation of why NASA tried to hide the Airline Safety study that they spent 8.5 million on and then tried to cover it up, even telling employees to delete files. Congress had to step in to order them to release it. We still don't have it 4 years later. It showed how many pilots of commercial airlines fly drunk

Oberg is a super journalist and a sterling individual. He's totally dedicated to truth, no matter whose warts are exposed.

Poor Buzz .. His life has never been the same, or even his own, since he sold his soul to NASA by pretending to land on the Moon.
Jim Oberg is a lying asshole.

Both of which need to be reviewed. There's no proof of drunks yet on any missions. Probably you need to sober up before you spew bullshit.
