NASA Reconsiders Entrance Exam

NASA astronaut Capt Lisa Nowak, 43, is trading in her spacesuit for a jumpsuit after driving 900 miles in an attempt to thwart another woman who she perceived to be a romantic rival. Now NASA is thinking that maybe they might have missed something during the screening process.

You think??

Or perhaps the geniuses in Houston need to remember that sometimes normal people have a momentary lapse of insanity. Then again, I wouldn't want such a normal person snapping while in Space.

Nowak, mother of three - who has been charged with attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, attempted vehicular burglary with battery - isn't looking so happy as in her NASA pre-flight photo. According to the February 6th, 2006 Washington Post, just "flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station."

So in an effort to save face, NASA is both officially saying that they will reevaluate the psychological screening, and verbalizing their support for not only Wacko Nowak, but also the other two astronauts involved in this weird but yet oh so typical in normal life love triangle. They're calling it tragic. I call it hormones.

But then again, there's a reason why so very few are ever selected to fly into space. Consider Captain Nowak grounded indefinitely.
