Comments on: NASA To Review Astronaut Screening Process

Space Agency Will Evaluate Its Psychological Screening Following Love Triangle Arrest

[actornaught]

Even successful people (nevermind this male/female 'debate') can be mentally ill. There can be a large gray area between being driven and being obsessed. Otherwise, how can you think having a billion dollars isn't enough? Or ten million, what's 'enough'?

Fyrecat - your comments are sane and understandable and a relief from the upsurge of sexist female bashing that's begining to form in these remarks. All in all a woman to be pitied, but also a woman who falls victim to the huge cultural hoax that without a man - one is in danger. It's sad that no matter how ill-treated, it is going to be she who takes the hit. The mute silence from both the man in question, Nowak's (separated) husband and Colleen Shipman, about what's been going on speaks to either their media saavy or their culpability. Maybe what they did is not illegal, but the morality of messing someone up is always the larger question. It's too bad that this woman didn't just start accepting the truth, that sometimes you get hurt and abused, and try to minimize the impact on her own life.
She does need therapy - but so does this entire culture that endorses male superiority and dominance and male behaviors. All speculation, but women have been sucking this false cultural "norm" up for centuries. When will they learn to 1) be okay without endorsement from a man and 2) to not shaft each other for the affections of a man.
All in all a tragedy that feels rooted in sexism, rather than in passion.

She must have been a Navy nurse...

But don't forget girls... you can't spell manipulate without the word MAN!


And you certainly can't have 'woes' without WOMEN!

Look! A P-ing contest! The boys are beating their chests! Me Tarzan, you Jane!

Of course she's out on bond. If you're white and female, you're blameless in EVERYTHING. The idiot, emasculated, white male dominated news media will do everything in their power to somehow portray her as a 'victim' of the man she was stalking and say that it was HIS fault. The book will be in stores and the movie will be on lifetime any moment now. Attempted murder charge and she's OUT ON BAIL! Nothing about the double-standards in this country surprises me anymore.

This poor woman...and a good example of how women are 'conditioned' to consider other women the 'competition' and how even if you are a 'successful' 'high functioning' woman you can become obsessed.
Sadly, this isn't something thats so uncommon, it's just that she's an astronaut, and as such, supposed to be 'above reproach' that draws this sort of attention.
I hope she gets a good therapist, and learns that her value isn't based on a man, no matter who he is.

Hello

[jetlizhan]

She's a pitifully confused 'out there' individual and I do feel sorry for her - but she's still very dangerous and I believe she would have seriously hurt Shipman. Can't believe she's out on bond. I thought I heard on some news program on TV yesterday morning that she was still very distraught over the deaths of the last astronaut crew that died - three of them were her very close friends. Did anyone else hear this???

Runaway Bride and her need to hook up and write a book on relationships!

ex-lax,

how nice that you condemn a fellow military officer.

Not that I agree with her, but aren't you one of the dodos who want Hillary for Prez.

Same situation there, except that the cuckolded shrill shrew of your DRAFT DODGING PERVERT hero hasn't flipped yet. Let's hope that your neo-fascist bozo buddies come to their senses and choose not to elect the fat bird - unless you want another Lisa Nowak on our hands - and on top of the nuclear button.

Here's a benchmark for Hillary - Jan. 2008 - before the primaries - effective separation and divorce proceedings from Perv Bill. Or act like Lorena Bobbitt.

OTHERWISE, GO BAKE TO BAKING COOKIES, SHREW.

As for Lisa, on one hand she's laughable - on the other, after such a career and raising a family she is to be pitied.

As opposed to going into space, this looney tunes broad will now be watched from space.

As someone stated yesterday, "Jail: The Final Frontier".
