stranger & sadder than fiction: weird astronaut love triangle problem

i was spending the morning in bed thinking up plots & characters for a movie & then i turned on my computer to check the e-mail, saw this story, sounds too fantastic to be true, but there it is, in the news. weirder & more tragic than any fiction i came up with this morning. i thought astronauts were pretty low key & together people, but it is also nice to know that they can be as crazy as the rest of us when it comes to romance, sometimes.
