Astronaut Lisa Nowak Fired From NASA, NASA Fires Astronaut Charged With Attempted Kidnapping; Nowak Will Return To Navy - CBS News

The old traditional way to mitigate a worker's comp claim is to fire the employee. This is a heavy handed management from the dark ages. Civilian companies would be crucified for this kind of thing. Thirty days after a prolonged space flight, and in the middle of a divorce with children, what do you think. This behavior is psychotic, not premedicated. Is it stress related -- worker's comp? I'd bet on it! Shame on NASA.
