I'm guessing there's one shuttle pilot in Houston that's sleeping on the couch tonight:

Full story here....



A NASA astronaut is being held without bail after police say she attacked her rival for another astronaut's attention at Orlando International Airport Monday.

Lisa Marie Nowak drove more than 12 hours from Texas to meet the 1 a.m. flight of a younger woman who had also been seeing the astronaut Nowak pined for, according to Orlando police.


Nowak -- who was a mission specialist on a Space Shuttle Discovery flight last summer -- was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, reports show. They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn't have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive. Reports show that after U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman's flight arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport's Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman's car and then doused her with pepper spray.

Nowak, 43, is charged with attempted kidnapping, battery, attempted vehicle burglary with battery and destruction of evidence. Police considered her such a danger that they requested she be held without bail in the Orange County Jail, reports show.

A married mother of three, Nowak told police that she was "involved in a relationship with," Bill Oefelein, another NASA astronaut, which she categorized as "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship," according to the charging affidavit.

Oefelein, who piloted the most recent shuttle flight in December, could not be reached Monday night at home in Houston.

 

You mean they weren't screened by TSA?...................

 

Friends with benefits. Hmmm

 

Spaaace maaaadnessss! Loved Ren & Stimpy. Why does my wife think I'm a juvenile delinquent?

 

You gotta love a woman that will sh!t in a diaper... for her man.

 

WOW! People can be so funny. Diapers for a crew of 7, a great view from space for 12 days, one psycho knife and BB gun toting astronaut,…the extra-vehicular docking maneuver…priceless!

 

She's a classmate of mine from the Boat School. I guess the radiation from space must have gotten to her. What a freak. I guess she's the best of the best. Maybe our space program is in trouble.

 

Did you bang her, tell her you loved her and then leave her stranded at Boat School?

Sounds like somebody screwed her up pretty badly. She sure wasn't going to let this guy get away.

 

Had lunch with my bride today of 18 years, who held my hand, looked into my eyes, and said "I love you honey but I won't ride 900 miles in my urine to beat the crap out of another woman who talks to you..."

And I thought she truely loved me. So guys--in case your wondering, the standard for dedication has just been raised a few notches.

 

I just saw her court appearance on CNN.....released on $10K bail with a tracking device strapped to her ankle. I guess it really does pay to have a good lawyer. Maybe she'll get promoted to flag rank now...you know, fu*k up, and move up!

As for our space program.....NASA is already in full damage control. Steve Lindsay (NASA bigwig astronaut) was on CNN talking her up. The whole thing is pretty darn creepy.
