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.

It will hurt the careers of the younger astrofemale and the male as well as the publicity will give every-one involved a black eye!
I don't mean to belittle all of our Astronaut Heroes, believe me, I am a huge fan, and do to my dad's work I had the great pleasure of getting to know a lot of them when I was younger... but you gatta be half whacked to willing strap yourself to a nuclear bomb and then ride into space and believe you will live through it and then safely land back on Earth.
Sounds like a movie of the "astronaut goes into space and is taken over by a malevolent space alien" genre.
Good test question:
You're stranded in space, and all you have is a trench coat, wig, knife, BB pistol, rubber tubing and plastic bags. Rank the above in order of priority.
Just thinking how far we've slid from the likes of Gus,Gordo,Deke,lan B., John,Scott and Wally.
In this case "don't scr*w the pooch" takes on a new meaning.
Tell me why you say that (she asks cluelessly), please.
Make up your own joke.
be, must BE weighing etc.
Ladies can't urinate in gaterade bottles too well while driving; super-absorbant diapers are better!...Must have gotten the idea from the waste removal systems the space suits use!
Has she been tested for crystal meth?
I'm not a Greta-watcher, but if she runs with this story, I'll definitely tune in.
And that is one career that is over.
For what?
I can't say anymore............ :)
Yeah, but she knows her way around the spaceman's helmet.
LOL!
the publicity will give every-one involved a black eye!
She already has hers.
I was thinking the same thing -- meth. People under its influence do crazy, stupid things. It doesn't take long for a meth user to be reduced to an idiot, from what I have heard. Very sad and a little disturbing.
Thanks!
"...This story is really going to hurt NASA...."
Not to mention her chances of getting another seat on the shuttle.
Not guilty!
