What's going to happen to the male astronaut in this triangle?

He's having an affair with a married woman, while seeing another astronaut on the side. The one woman's life is ruined, and the other woman has zero chance of advancement in the astronaut corps. From his public statements, he doesn't seem to have an ounce of regret or even awareness of wrongdoing.

I would certainly hope they dismiss him too.

She's a lot better looking than her mug shot makes her look.

So is Helen Thomas. No picture included as there might be children on this thread.

There isn't enough airbrushing for that to work.

I've seen a lot of press shots where she looks pretty good, especially for a woman around 40.

And he was married at the time. Is NASA as strict about adultery as the military can be? For good reason, as this case shows - people come unhinged.

I didn't know he was also married.

Fire him!

He should have been fired at the same time

What a surprise!

I'm sure surprised. Maybe NASA has some common sense regarding the astronaut program after all.

What? You think the flight surgeon may have a problem with her returning to duty?

Now we know what you have to do to get fired from a Federal government job.

Next comes the Playboy spread.

I feel a "Registered" moment coming along soon. Your body of work would be lessened if you didn't take on this topic.

Something about the statement "for the service's reputation..."

NASA should not have hired her. A mother who abandons her children was warped to begin with.
