there are no loose cannons in the nuclear navy. By the time they reach command rank they have been thoroughly vetted.

This incident shows that NASA's vetting process is not perfect. No process can be. However, I have to believe that there are at least some people who, though they may fail, will not crack under any pressure.

In the case of Oefelein and Nowak I think the best advice is "don't dip your pen in company ink", ESPECIALLY in the astronaut corps.

If they want to romance each other, one or the other should've got a different job. That's just me speaking as an American taxpayer.
