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.

...and, CERTAINLY, that drive must have calmed her down.

Dominic Anotelli is out of perspective somehow.

Oh you mean dilithium crystals aren't part of the response?

I am so glad my kids didn't make the NASA cut...

Sounds like another case of...

MADNESS!!

Lisa Nowak and Willian Oefelein must have had a sexual encounter in space together. Nope, physically impossible. They've never flown in space together.

I've got a great line but I'd be banned for life.

It was in the valet parking where she lost her
airbrakes and you see what a jump she made..."

I'm not driving all that the way just to tuck you in.
G'night.

That picture and this article so reminds me of the ending of "Spies Like Us."

That Willian Oefelein guy is in for a whale of a hard time over this, oh ouch, sorry....

Hey, if I had a space suit I'd wear it everywhere I went. Apparently it's a real chick magnet, lol.

I imagine there's not much privacy, so the sexual tension (if any) would be pretty high.

The shower facilities on board the shuttle and the space station are kind of limited. After 2-3 days I guess that libido (horniness to those in Rio Linda) might go out the airlock. Body odor etc.

[tet68]

Oh, I think it was probably the giant rats running along side her car at 70 miles an hour that freaked her out.

I know it did me, after driving nonstop from Seattle to Chicago. The damn things looked like giant greyhounds with
Looong tails, and they weren't even breathing hard!

Astronaut being debriefed by NASA psychiatrist:
Doc: "Since you have come back from space, how is your sex life?"
Astro: "Super"
Doc:" When was the last time you got some?"
Astro:" 1958&quote;
Doc:' 1958?? And you call that a good sex life?"
Astro: Well, Doc, its only 2030 hrs now".

[fish hawk]

she looks like that gal that played in the movie "Star Man". Can't remember her name.

[Sloth]

LOL, I don't think that's what Gary Puckett had in mind.

[SunkenCiv]

Seems like she should have tried to discuss this over launch.

Is it time for air marshals on the space shuttle?
