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.

Interestingly, I passed the CIA's psychological screening with flying colors. The mystery guy who recruited me said I 'fit the profile better than anyone else he had ever met.'

Of course, he wasn't referring to the profile of a CIA employee.

By the way, his name wasn't Jason Gideon, was it?

Wow - this is terrible for all involved. One has to wonder if some sort of medication/substance/pysch issues were involved...

I sure hope she wasn't this way while on mission.

I've heard of the mile high club, but maybe she wanted to be the first in the 125 mile high club?

In my road tripping days we used Gatorade bottles.

That winsome young piece of excretment should be in jail, hanged for treason, shot without a blindfold, or maybe just thrown out of a Huey over N.Vietnam.

OK, so maybe there is something to that Van Allen Belt stuff the moon-hoaxers go on about.

That was my first thought. I imagine there's not much privacy, so the sexual tension (if any) would be pretty high. They must practice living in close quarters before they send 'em up, to see if anything untoward is developing, ya think?
