This is out there:

http://www.twismor.com/march07/astronaut.htm

The writer of the article claims that Lisa Nowak went crazy because
she wore diapers way too much while in space. He claims to be a
psychiatrist and also claims that wearing diapers for too long can
turn an adult into a person with the mind of a child. He calls the
disorder Astronaut Diaper Syndrome.

It's got to be a joke.

Sounds like it was written on April first to me.

There is an old saying about love making a fool of you, and I strongly
suspect that Astronauts are not immune from this human trait!. Cannot see
how  the clothing  is implicated, sorry!

Well, if more astronauts were going crazy, I'd assume something in
space is getting to them.
But that doesn't seem to be the case, so as far as I am concerned,
that woman Novak is the only
wacko so far.

For the umpteenth time:  Lisa Nowak is not a "wacko."  She's not "crazy."

She freaked out due to jealousy, and there but for the grace of God go
any of us.  Jealousy originates in the amygdala and it's part of what
makes us human.

When asked about Nowak, one psychologist cited a case he was dealing
with:  A husband (fine, upstanding physician) had found out his wife was
cheating on him.  In his house, he called his two kids out from their
bedrooms to watch what he was about to do.  And with his kids watching,
he calmly shot his wife to death right through her head.

I think you explained her behavior better than Twismor did.  The pace
claims she freaked out because wearing diapers in space almost every
day turned her into a child, and once she got back to Earth she began
to behave like a spoiled brat who wanted her toy (husband) back.

100% correct.  Thank you for such a perceptive & on-target post.

If the female astronauts are swimming around up there in the
weightlessness wearing nothing but 'diapers' I can see how the problem
developed.

We need to 'monitor' the astronauts carefully to see that this kind of
thing doesn't happen again.  And, by the way, whatever happened to the
50's style all male crews starring Buster Crab?

Buzz Corbett and his 'space cadets' were all business -- until they
bumped into the Moon Women, who were wearing diaper like costumes, in
the Moon Caves.

Even young boys have the good sense to put a sign on the front of
their tree houses stating "No Girls Allowed."

Well, the whole website is a satire; it reminds me of the Journal of
Irreproducible Results and similar satire.
