Full story [here](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16997958/)

Basically this married-with-3-kids woman astronaut trains with this guy, gets the hots for him, finds out about another woman. The she _races_ 900 miles to confront this woman - wearing astro-diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop to pee - and confronts this supposed rival. While she said she only want to talk and “intimidate” the other woman, she sprayed mace into the woman’s car and had a BB gun, a Buck knife, rubber tubing and garbage bags with her. All gear good for…intimidation. :dubious:

Think this one might’ve been a bit high-strung?

Somewhere some other astronaut is breathing a sigh of relief that he doesn’t have to spend 8 months on the ISS with her.
