NASA And The “Spaced Out” Astronaut

Nowak Wacked Out!

NASA has announced that the selection of astronauts was going to undertake closer scrutiny after the embarrassment of the current court case of one space traveller.

NASA will review the way it screens astronauts for mental or medical problems after the arrest of astronaut Lisa Nowak on charges she tried to kill a romantic rival, the U.S. space agency said on Wednesday.
