    Actually, there was a high profile and notorious case of a female NASA astronaut and Naval officer named Lisa Nowak, who was placed on trail and convicted of felony burglary and misdemeanor assault charges. This all stemmed from an affair she was having with a fellow astronaut named Bill Oefelein, who both of them were married to different people at the time.

    When Bill decided to call the affair off and started to see another woman, an Air Force Captain named Colleen Shipman. Lisa had an emotional breakdown and after her own marriage had failed. Planned on possibly kidnapping Colleen. She was eventually arrested at Orlando International Airport that she had followed Colleen to. Besides the criminal convictions listed above, she was dismissed from NASA and demoted in rank and forcibly retired from the Navy.

      I don’t know man, this seems like an obvious case of alien body snatching. They just never learned to act like regular humans.

          You aren’t pulling 7 g’s in a space suit lying horizontal with fifty thousand pounds of hydrozene fueling a giant rocket with no off switch when you’re driving down the road in a car. Some situations are different than others.
