Duct-Tape, Tranquilizers Part Of NASA's Plan For Mentally Unstable
Astronauts In Space

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --  What would happen if an astronaut came
unglued in space and, say, destroyed the ship's oxygen system or tried
to open the hatch and kill everyone aboard?

That was the question on some minds after the apparent breakdown of
Lisa Nowak, arrested in Orlando this month on charges she tried to
kidnap and kill a woman she regarded as her rival for another
astronaut's affections.

It turns out NASA has a detailed set of written procedures for dealing
with a suicidal or psychotic astronaut in space. The documents,
obtained this week by The Associated Press, say the astronaut's
crewmates should bind his wrists and ankles with duct tape, tie him
down with a bungee cord and inject him with tranquilizers if necessary.
