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.

There's a fine line 'tween brilliance and insanity.

This is just sad. She would have been screened thoroughly in the Air Force prior to going through the extensive screening process used by NASA.

You post a Hanoi Jane pic and tell ME to separate fantasy from reality?

Did she promise to sign your BetaMax copy of Barbarella?

Well, it's NOT a bb gun, but it might put your eye out.

Yeah, she looks kinda rough in that one pic, but heck who wouldn't driving nonstop from Texas to orlando to meet a
1am flight.

A goth astronaut, and people say there isn't diversity in space!

More seriously, the gang bangers are probably using it in a drive by. The older cars are much more bullet resistant than the current tin foil crop.

Classic SNL

The effects certainly weren't classic though.

Wasn't Belushi the captain of the men?

No, she flew her only flight on STS-121 while Oefelein flew his only flight on STS-116. They were never in space together.

Man, that guy is straight from the "astronaut" list over at Central Casting. He might as well change his name to "Booster McFlattop, Steely-Eyed Missileman".

A woman driven.

Heck, she drove herself.

Sure, 14 hours of nonstop driving and crying.
"I just want to talk to her, maybe she doesn't
know about how handy rubber tubing can be in space..."

"This tells me that astronauts Lisa Nowak and Willian Oefelein must have had a sexual encounter in space together."

Nope, physically impossible.


They've never flown in space together.
