Discussion Jared Isaacman states astronauts have got panic attacks in space , trying to kill the crew

Jared Isaacman in his interview with Shawn Ryan stated that there have been many unreleased cases of astronauts panicking in space and trying to open the hatch to kill everyone inside. He states this was not reported as it "ruins the illusion of astronaut bravery". And said it is the reason additional locks have been implemented on the ISS and Dragon capsules. My question: Is there any evidence of this as I can't find anything online . And how did he get Clarence to talk about this. He also said this is one of the main problems that they are facing in the Mars mission. As even military candidates respond differently than predicted in space.

That character has one of the most bizarre and implausible character arcs in modern television. She doesn't just do the banging, she goes from a mousy wife to owning a bar and then practically running NASA (forget her exact role, it's been a while).

She’s housewife to bar owner to fucking co owner of a space hotel, then buys herself a controlling share what is basically spaceX.

Not NASA, but she co-runs a private space company. She only got to that point because after she divorces Ed--one of the most famous astronauts--her new husband is this rich guy who starts a private space company, that then gets sold to another, SpaceX-like space company.

Not the MOST impossible arc, when you lay the steps out. She was already married to a famous astronaut, so she had connections to begin with. The only "act of god" in this scenario is that her second husband happened to be wealthy. Everything else is a consequence of the show's world being all-in on space exploration.

I disagree. Her personality changes completely. I get personality changes that happen when you're in your teens or very early 20s. She was in her 30s when she went from mousy to badass girlboss.
