when I saw this phrase in a headline at the LA Times website, I had to read it...
here's a link to the original article from the Orlando Sentinel:
Space shuttle astronaut arrested at OIA on attempted kidnapping, battery charges

My reactions:
Q: What word would you use to describe a relationship that is "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship."?
I guess this affair is what you would literally call "Space Opera."
Meanwhile, please refrain from jokes about astronaut sex.

Posted by: Cham at February 6, 2007 9:32 AMYes, she does look pretty awful... but then when you realize she still had makeup on from when she was in disguise, then her appearrance is understandable... plus, she probably would want to look as unrecognizable as possible... to avoid future public embarrassment
Posted by: raacluse at February 6, 2007 10:55 AMNo, I take that back about WANTING to look different in her mug shot... She looks different because her anguish is reflected in her face.
Some discussion, for example:
http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/an-astronauts-alleged-crimes-of-passion/ ,
has suggested that her mug shot shows use of drugs or mental disorder. I suppose this speculation will be answered in the course of time.
While it's fun to wallow in the sordid mess of interpersonal relations, it might be useful to step back and reflect on the emotional strife multiplied a million-fold in a situation like the vicious gang-like warfare going on in Iraq.
