Astronaut story is from outer space
The story of Astronaut Lisa Nowak gets more bizarre each time. Now it has been revealed that she discovered steamy emails to her boyfriend/fellow astronaut from her romantic rival, the woman she tried to attack after a 900 mile trip to Florida. (Police believe the emails pushed her over the edge.) Surely more than love possessed this obviously talented and bright woman to do what she did.
So where was NASA while she was falling apart? Where were the astronaut corps when the romantic rival was sending these emails to the mission captain -- while he was flying around in a space capsule?
I don't feel sorry for Nowak. Apparently she had been carrying an extramarital affair with this fellow astronaut since 2004, or so he claims. I feel sorry for her husband and three children. They surely deserve our sympathy.

You know, after being in the work-world for over 30 years, I have to say that this situation is not that unique. OK - the fact that she is an astronaut and wore diapers makes it different than the usual "fatal attraction" situation. I'll give you that.
However, this woman's obsession with a co-worker is not unique. I have seen similar stuff happen over and over again. Never with good results.
Many times, people who are growing bored with their own lives, seek the excitement and passion they long for through affairs at work. Bad idea.
This crazy woman has become a joke (instead of the highly respected scientist she used to be) -- I am sure that her lover has dumped her -- and her family has to suffer the humilation along with her.
I don't pity her either.
But, there is hope for her. In keeping with today's trends, she should go into rehab with Britney and declare that she has post-space travel depression.
What the heck - the public will buy anything nowadays.
Perhaps the pressure of the job were too much for her.
She is, obviously, an intelligent person. She has had a noteworthy career and has distinguished herself in a field where men are the usual success stories.
She seems to be a classic case of "book smart but NO common sense."
Whatever happens, she is accountable for her behavior and should be dealt with as such.
I, too, pity the family. This is humiliating.
