"Lisa Nowak chose a juggling act of dauntingly high difficulty: to be an astronaut and a mother of three."
You can be good at one or the other, but not both.

I agree. I like that the article said she "chose"...
Did you see the WaPo reporter asking questions today at the press conference? He just wanted to make trouble.
Is she the first astronaut to have a family? I doubt it. Is she the first mother of three to work at a stressful job? Why is it "dauntingly high difficulty" for an astronaut to raise some kids as opposed to say doctors or businesswomen who do it every day? Is she going to explain away her conduct by playing the female card?
