HOUSTON WE HAVE A COKE PROBLEM! DRUGS FOUND AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER!

A week after the Discovery shuttle's final mission, NASA has discovered that some scientists on the ground may have been blasting off themselves.

Officials at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral are investigating how a bag of cocaine ended up at the spaceport after 4.2 grams of white powder was found on the base March 7.

Local cops tested the substance onsite and determined it was coke, and it was sent to a crime lab to for follow-up tests, said Renee Juhans of NASA's Office of Inspector General.

The coke was found two days before the famed shuttle returned from its final mission.

NASA has not said where on the base it was found.

It isn't the first time drugs have been found at the Kennedy Space Center, where NASA launches its space shuttles.

In 2010, investigators drug tested 200 employees and contractors after a bag containing coke residue was found in the Discovery shuttle's hangar.

No one tested positive, and the investigation was eventually closed.
