Space shuttle astronaut arrested at OIA on attempted kidnapping, battery charges
Orlando Sentinel ^ | February 5, 2007 | Henry Pierson Curtis

Posted on 02/05/2007 5:27:04 PM PST by burzum

A NASA astronaut is charged with attacking her rival for another astronaut's attention early Monday at Orlando International Airport, the Orlando Sentinel has learned.

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

Nowak -- who was a mission specialist on a Discovery launch last summer -- was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, rubber tubing and plastic bags, reports show. Once U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport's Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman's car and doused her with pepper spray, according to reports.

She had a BB pistol?

Sheesh!

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

She might be able to fly a space shuttle, but she don't know squat about weapons.

Not Mr. Gideon. He said his name was "Mr. James." Seemed like a fake name.

And no, it wasn't for being an employee. I think he said it would be 'mostly freelance work.'

Go figure, huh? :-)

You'd think she would have taken the shuttle.

"Why do you say meth is involved?"

The outlandish, crazy scheming, the all-night driving jag, and above all else, that mug shot. If you've ever seen a meth addict, and I see them frequently with a downtown office bordering the "bad" side of town, she's got the hallmarks. Sunken, drawn, aged beyond her years and a certain unhinged quality. I honestly don't know if she's an addict, but I would not be surprised in the least.

Do you think it was premeditated?

LOL!!! No, she just got up Sunday morning, stopped by the 7-11.... “I need a double expresso, a full tank of gas, and box of Depends.” And decided to go.

Didn't read thru the responses ... however, if anyone had any questions as to whether the mile high club had been surpassed by the astronaut corp (by at least 200 miles) ... this should tell you all you need to know.

Her mugshot is the classic meth look. Drawn, wrinkled, dead eyes, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic. I've seen a bunch just like this picture. I just wondered how she could do it. Hopefully, they are tested.
