Reuters reported today that a drug used to treat impotence could help
Israeli fighter pilots operate at high altitude. A retired general plans to present to the air force the
results of a study he conducted on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania where
he found that tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis tablets,
improved breathing in a thin atmosphere.
Whether this "study" involved the general's wife (or girlfriend) is unclear. Rumors suggest NASA astronauts are excited over the prospect of continued testing.
