Can you imagine her trying to convince her cellmate that she's an
astronaut?

Bio says she's married with three kids. I'll bet not for long.

How did she get past all those physo-nuts and psychri-nuts. I thought
they kept a short leash on all the astronauts,

They call it a "screening" because that's what it is. There are still
gaps, and that means it's possible for something to slip through.

No matter what, there is simply no way to know what is going on in
someone else's mind; the best that can be done is an educated guess.

But in another sense (somewhat speculative on this), NASA is always
under budget pressure. Things that don't appear to put safety at risk
are the first to go. Perhaps they've cut too deep.

I think maybe it was the leash and other leather goods that got this
problem started. Perhaps the management at NASA should abandon
physical restraints in astronaut training.

I think the physco people screwed up. They shoulf of realized that
going thru a divorce is a stressfull situation and should have been on
the lookout.

The real question is, how did she get past the NAVY screening and
pruning to get herself promoted to the rank of CAPTAIN? Like, somebody
who commands an aircraft carrier with 5,000 people on board, and
possibly nuclear weapons? And a nuclear reactor in the engine room. I
pray that there are no other whack-jobs like her who have gotten
themselves into life-and-death positions of Naval command!

I don't think that NASA can be blamed for taking such an extreme ringing
endorsement from the Navy as evidence of solid psychological
foundations. It's the Navy that needs to do some serious re-thinking of
its practices, more than NASA.

That's like asking how a naval officer got past all the medical
screening, and still developed cancer at age 50. Bodies break, and so do
minds. There doesn't have to be anything wrong during earlier exams, at
least nothing that we know how to identify. The most stable people can
lose it under the right circumstances.

The news clippings I've seen are calling it a personality disorder,
not anything
like a mental breakdown. They reported prior incidences of "sounds of
dishes
breaking" and the fact there was a separation. She was likely
depressed and
lonely and that's probably what triggered the episode.

Even Elle Macpherson is in a similar situation:
