Cocaine found at Space Centre

An investigation has been launched by the NASA space agencyspace agency chiefs after cocaine was found at the Kennedy Space Centre.

A small bag of drugs was discovered in the restricted access Discovery space shuttle hangar at the agency’s Florida spaceport just weeks before a mission goes to orbit.

A NASA spokesperson has said over that the cocaine was found when a shuttle worker spotted it outside a bathroom and reported it to security.

Bob Cabana, a former astronaut and director of the Kennedy Space Center, told SPACE.com: “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.”

The agency said that there have been no indications of anyone working on the premises while under the influence of an illegal substance.

Drug sniffer dogs have been brought in and staff are being interviewed, Nasa said.

Three years ago, Nasa was forced to deny allegations of boozy parties after an official report claimed two astronauts had flown into space while drunk.
