CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA said Wednesday it would review its psychological screening process in light of an astronaut’s arrest on charges she tried to murder a woman she believed was her romantic rival for a space shuttle pilot’s affections.
Deputy NASA Administrator Shana Dale said the space agency would evaluate the process "to determine if any modifications are needed."
Astronaut Lisa Nowak returned to Texas and headed to Johnson Space Center for a medical assessment Wednesday, a day after being charged in Florida.
