How interesting. I didn't know he was still alive.
This is quite a good article, and his observations about astronauts can apply to many other careers. People with impressive accomplishments are not necessarily more emotionally stable than Wal-mart cashiers, and some are going to "go astro" in a difficult job situation.
If nothing else, his proposal to eliminate many of the "astronaut" positions would reduce the likelihood of an astronaut flip-out, simply on a numerical basis!

After being weightless, they come crashing back to earth reality and become morose over the huge weight gain.

When they crack a tooth biting into one of those space food sticks?

Probably got put on SSRIs recently. Doubt it. I know the USAF won't let you fly if you are on SSRIs, or any other anti-depressants. I would be suprised if either NASA or the Navy did either.

Why does this have to have anything to do with her job?
What if she had become a high powered lawyer? Or doctor?
Would she have "cracked" then?
I think so...because this is an issue of character and her type of personality.
She couldn't stand to lose - and she wasn't GOING to lose.
To: Scotswife
I agree with you completely. I think this woman might well have detonated no matter what her occupation was. Of course, if she hadn't been an astronaut, it probably wouldn't have made the national news.

What makes an astronaut crack? A suitable subject, a sense of irony, and timing...
