Wow, if this is what happens to you in outer space then count me out. There are soooo many things in that story that make me go, "This has to be fake". It just seems to weird to be true.
Plus she "loves" him so much she live 1200 KM away from him and then decides to take out the competition by driving there while wearing dipers so she does not have to stop.

Having superior abilities to think clearly and reason through a problem in a crisis situation is why she was an astronaut and you weren't!!!

You're right. Putting on a diaper to save time is something I would have never thought to do.

You see, she's just using her NASA training!

Clearly this is a lesson all astronauts learn ever since the very first American manned space flight, in which Alan Shepard peed himself on the launchpad after numerous delays to the countdown. Future missions equipped the astronauts with proper urine collection systems.

Seriously.

Even love makes NASA robotics specialist aeronautical engineer astronauts do stupid things

This technology isn't new, nor is it rocket science.

Think of the technological advances that will arise from this. She has to wear a tracking device, and she is into diapers. This may make finding lost children easier for everyone!
