Today's Big Loser...
NASA is today’s big loser.The saga of Astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak’s 900 mile journey over last weekend to confront/assault a fellow astronaut’s girlfriend has forever changed the space program.
This story is going to dominate our news cycle probably in a way we’ve not seen before except in the OJ mess. Think of how it has already changed our thinking. We now know our astronauts wear diapers, sometimes away from work..
We’ve already learned that Ms. Nowak had a tough time on her only space mission last year. She was ill for the first forty-eight hours, then discovered her mission duty of operating the space station’s robotic arm was a lot more difficult to do than her training had prepared her for.
Has anyone else noticed from her mug shot that she returned to earth with a Forengi-ish forehead.Traditionally a Democrat Congress has been hostile toward the space program considering it to be an extravagant frill when compared to the social programs that their party champions.
NASA is heading for a fiscal bruising.

Did the cops beat her up before they took the picture?
When I first saw the headline about an astronaut trying to kidnap a woman, I pictured some guy in a spacesuit carrying a screaming woman while hijacking a space shuttle to who knows where. Yeah, I watch too much science fiction.
A proof that people are prone to human emotions, irrespective of the rigors of their professions. Was she less than competant professionally?
Krishna,
From all accounts she was as competent as you can be in all aspects of her professional career.
