But being charged with assault, attempted kidnapping and attempted murder is far greater than anything I ever observed or imagined could occur. Why? They're just astronauts, for cripes' sake, not Trappist monks.

Maybe I've missed it on topics about this subject, but I get a chuckle out of my co-workers for coming up with a name for this phenomenon. Like USPS workers "going postal", I call this "going lunar". It works for describing the behavior of some people once a month, as well!

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!

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.
