Admirable

"I think Nowak should be admired for traveling across the country at night and not getting out of her car to put in gas or go to the restroom," Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said about a former astronaut charged with attempted kidnapping. Lisa Nowak was arrested in February after police said the married mother of three had driven nearly 1,000 miles from Houston to Orlando, Fla., to confront another woman. "Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities," Aldrin said in comments published on Time magazine's Web site. "It is not excusable, but it is understandable for an achiever to fall into a trap." Aldrin said he suffered from alcoholism and depression for years after faking the whole moon landing thing.
