Tower Of Babel

What a thing re that astronaut love triangle, huh? You know, the woman astronaut who has been charged with a range of charges including attempted kidnapping and attempted murder because she drove 900 miles to confront the woman she felt was the third wheel in her “relationship” with another astronaut.

The only thing is, she didn’t REALLY have a relationship with the astronaut in question, and she was married, with two kids. Ok, so she was recently separated from her husband, but still! She sounds looney tunes to me!

Apparently she thought the woman a threat and she allegedly decided to remove her from the face of the earth. She says she simply wanted to have a talk with the woman. Police feel she had a far more dangerous intent. She did spray the woman with mace or something like that, so intent to harm was there and she had some weapons in her car, so it is a possibility that there is something behind the story! Apparently she is now out on a bond, but she has to wear an ankle bracelet so that her whereabouts can be monitored.

Whats so interesting about this is that NASA puts these astronauts through some really rigorous tests before they select them to be astronauts, and one would think that these people are better able to handle stress, physical demands and so on and still stay on course, so to see one of them acting so crazy, well… Its just sad, thats all.

I wouldn’ t mind hearing more about this one. I find it interesting. What do you think?
