Honestly, it's a testament to their screening process that astronauts don't go bonkers more often. Think about how weird it must feel to come back to earth after a longish mission.

Meh. She was only in space for 306 hours, 37 minutes and 54 seconds

I love how MSNBC threw that last bit into their article, like it justifies why she wore them. Of course, I'm pretty sure that if I was hurtling through the atmosphere at hundreds of miles per hour I'd want a good pair of Depends between me and my space suit too.

It's obvious this chick is no rocket scientist.
You're just assuming they're talking about phases of a shuttle mission.

Judging by the fact that they used to send dogs and chimps into space, intelligence isn't the be all and end all to being an astronaut.
SVU or Criminal Intent? Regular L&O has fallen so much that it barely deserves the distinction of the doink-doink anymore.
OC in space? Hasn't that been the last few episodes of Battlestar Galactica?
Right, like you wouldn't crap your pants in that situation.

Clipped the wrong part. Then again, wearing diapers isn't just an astronaut thing, it's a pilot thing, although one wonders how why a Navy pilot would be airborne that long since all carrier-based aircraft have limited fuel ranges compared to the equivalent Air Force planes.

I thought the same thing when I read that. That's what you call in-depth reporting.

Criminal Intent, of course. It's not like she raped anybody.
Did she? 'Cause that'd be hot (extraplanetary oogaba FTW!).

SVU but in the story she will actually commit the murder. Stabler will get all edgy because of the horror of the crime and yell and punch people, the captain will yell at someone and apologize to the family, the "shrink" will spew some psuedo-psychobabble about deep seated abuse issues, the ADA will be so angered by government intervention that she pushes the envelop of legality and illegality, the smart guy will talk about government conspiracies to cover-up astronaut psychosis, and Mariska Hargitay will admit that she's kind of sympathetic to the crime because she's felt betrayed by men before.

Get ready for the first use of the "space madness" defense, which will go something like, "The stress of being an astronaut made me lose my ability to distinguish between right and wrong."
You forgot the part where Ice T yells at the smart guy for being a jackass.

Nobody's mentioned the theory that she was bombarded by space-cosmo-gamma-particle-plasma-lunatificus rays while she was up there which crazified her.
Personally, I see this as the only explanation.

I love how the media is stating that since she's an astronaut she must be smart and know better. Listen people, "smart" people go crazy and do stuff like this all the time. Just ask Bobby Fisher. She obviously loves this guy to do something this crazy. I read somewhere that when a person is in love their brain chemestry gets completely messed up. If it gets too bent out of kilter judgment gets affected.

I was thinking more along the lines of OC with astronauts afraid to go whiz. You get natural teenage angst plus everyone's pissed because they haven't taken a dump in week. The drama almost writes itself!

Well, to be fair to the media, these astronauts are supposed to be the ones who are tested for mental stability and don't freak out over stuff. They're supposed to be BETTER than the average nutjob. Turns out they're just better at hiding it.
Update- I thought the guy involved had banged her in space during the mission and then refused to call her when they got back on the ground, but it turns out they never flew together. That's messed up. If hot, steamy space sex wasn't involved, why'd she get so worked up over the guy?
AKA the Tang Defense.
Have you seen how cramped a space shuttle is? How the hell can they have sex without everyone from the cockpit down to Mission Control getting wind of it?

I've heard rumors that it happens. Keep in mind, women get pregnant on Navy ships where people are in tight quarters. Passengers have sex in commercial airline toilets, and those places are tiny. People just look the other way, and ground control probably doesn't have secret cameras that can't just be covered up for privacy.
The line: "How many people can say they've had sex in space, baby? And how many chances are you going to get? It's now or never." = boom-boom.
This is NASA we're talking about. Chances are they've spent $500 million developing a special space condom to take care of that.
It needs to be said.
In space no one can hear you scream. Too bad they weren't out there when she tried to pepper spray the other woman.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
This bugging anybody as much as it is me? Astronauts are supposed to be perfect! I guess it's just childhood hero worship.

They've upped the ante. She's being charged with attempted murder now. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/06/astronaut.arrested/index.html
They mean attempted space murder.
(note- that's only for Newsradio fans)
This story is just unbelievable.
