Lost In Space

 

1. skip, you are 100% correct about the human psyche, every one of us is susceptible of losing it when the stress-o-meter pegs and keeps on pegging longer than one can bear, but i’m not so sure i’m feeling that generous about letting this O6 off the hook.

   O6’s of all branches of the military are a special breed. Some ascend to the rank of full bird using their God given leadership abilities and some get there as a result of some really dispicable behaviour or set asides.  I’m not sure which category Captain Nowak belongs to.

   I do know this, your typical O6 is so used to everybody kissing their ass and receiving special priviledge, I’m not surprised that this one felt she was perfectly within her rights to put the O3 in her place.

   Them astronauts are the ultimate risk takers and are cool cookies under extreme pressure. I find it hard to believe that ego and priviledge wasn’t the driving factor.

2. Looking at the photos, after her arrest, you can see a distinct difference in her appearance, and I’m not talking about the obvious (her hair being messy, no make up, etc.), I’m talking about her eyes in particular.  She looks confused, desperate, definitely not in control.  I’m not excusing her actions, but I agree with you, skipper, she should get the help she needs, to go along with any punishment that’s meeted out.

3. It is sad.  Clearly a broken woman.  It is hard to imagine she was freed - she certainly would seem to be a danger to herself, if not others.

   ASFA the psych screenings - lets to the postal system before we do NASA....
