I still can't get over it

Did you hear? NASA has decided to review its psychological screening process used in the selection of astronauts. BIG SURPRISE!!!! Is this really news? I’m fact I would have been surprised if they didn’t do this. It’s either that or they put a big sign that says “WE ACCEPT LUNATICS”. Obviously something failed somewhere. Either that or we can blame Lisa’s nutfest on COSMIC RAY!!!

I wonder if that would be a possible “Your Honor. My client has been affected by cosmic rays when she was in space.” And then she would show off some strange power like the Fantastic Four. Hey, they did get their powers from cosmic rays when they were in space. LOOK IT UP.

What I want to know is what hole in the screening process allows for wacky people like Lisa to get through the process and go into space. Also what other astronauts are a little ‘odd’. This might explain why Alan Shepard peeing in his spacesuit, or maybe it was the fact that he was trapped in his space capsule without a bathroom; though NASA and even Lisa learned from that lesson. She was wearing an adult diaper when she was caught.

One other thing which I find amusing is that NASA has removed her from flight status for 30 day. Just 30 days? Will she have flight status granted when she’s in a padded cell? Somehow I doubt it. Maybe she can share a padded cell with that Runaway Bride woman. Right now I bet she’s thinking, “thank you, now I can pass the crazy woman crown over”.

Odds are next year there will be another crazy woman doing something and Lisa Nowak will be able to pass the crown over. It’s kind of like the Miss America pageant, only it’s for crazy woman, and every year the crown is moved onto a new person. Now we need a slide show of the crazy women of the past like Amy Fisher, Tonya Harding and Kathy Lee Gifford (ok she might not be a criminal but she is NUTS).

To be honest I feel really bad about Lisa Nowak situation. She had it all. Success, notoriety, the privilege to have gone into space and the respect of many people but now, she’s just another crazy person. It’s really sad.

I don't get it.

There some things I can write about but it's not the right time to do it. At least not yet because I don't want to jinx anything.

I also read on the news about the astronaut who tried to kidnap and murder some woman who was in a love triangle with her and some other guy. I saw the mug shot and I wondered 'what the hell happened'? To go from being in space to an episode of Cops in less than a year....it makes no sense?

Now I know that women and men are wired differently (and don't claim that were not), but to have a career as an astronaut, to actually go into space, and then to throw it all away for some guy. I don't understand it. She has literately fallen from the stars into a jail cell; from a selected few to a common criminal. Can someone explain to me because I don't get it.

I've made many sacrifices in my life to be able to hold my head up high and say that I accomplished something. I have my degree, a career and so forth. It wasn't easy for me either. I had to give up any hope of a social life to get my degree. I went to classes in the AM and worked from 2:00pm to 10:00pm. Did my assignments and went to bed at midnight, then I woke up at 6:00am and repeated the process, and that's just a Bachelors of Science. Astronauts need far more education. They need to make far more sacrifices. They have to prove that they are the best of the best, and she threw it away for some guy. I don't get it.

Someone please tell me that this is not some woman thing. Tell me that this has something to do with the need to 'be with someone'. Someone please tell me that this person 'lost it' somehow.

Ironically I had no idea what to write about. The words just seemed to appear on the screen. I guess I'm still good at 'winging it'. However I just don't get it.
