N.A.S.A. cringes, preparing for more bad press.

It seems another drunken astronaut has N.A.S.A. in the headlines after leaving a shuttle in a no parking zone. The shuttle,Kegger, was impounded by Florida state troupers who towed it away from The Starry Night Bar.

"It wasn't easy," says trouper Mick Mouse, "We don't impound anything that big very often." Officials are not sure how the shuttle crew managed to manuever the huge craft through crowded city streets. They also cannot determine which crew member was at the wheel, although they all tested well above the legal limit.

N.A.S.A. has no plans to pay the $120,000 fine and recover the shuttle which will be auctioned next week on E-Bay (although private launches will not be authorized). The lifespan of the whole shuttle fleet is nearly over as N.A.S.A. plans to return to the old fashoned rocket style craft. Let's hope they install a breathalyzer!

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
