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.

At least this didn't happen ON the shuttle...

I was thinking the same thing, or the Space Station.

Looking at her photo at the article, I would have to say that Meth may have been involved. Thats the only logical explanation I can come up with in this bizarre case........

As another famous pilot once said,

"a trench coat and wig and, a knife, BB pistol, rubber tubing and plastic bags....Gosh a feller could have a pretty good time in Vegas with this stuff."

Maybe they need to check out these guys' character a little better before putting them in the tin can.

The part about using diapers to avoid stopping on the trip is a bit too much, LOL.

BTW anybody got any pics of the younger 'naut?
I couldn't find any with Google.......
