ORLANDO, Fla.—Fellow astronauts described Lisa Nowak as smart, hardworking and a good mother, but also selfish and unwilling to perform tasks for which she hadn’t trained, according to documents released Tuesday by the state attorney’s office.
That glimpse into the astronaut’s life was found in hundreds of pages of documents that include summaries of interviews with four astronauts following Nowak’s arrest in February on charges of attempted kidnapping, burglary with assault and battery.
Police said she drove from Houston to Orlando to confront Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman.

“Are you dying? There’s no dying in space, y’all.”
How ‘bout death by sex in space?
How stupid can they get .... burial in space .... just put a little thrust on it to put it into a decaying solar orbit.
Yeah. Uh huh. Thank you very much, Associated Press, for demonstrating once again your level of reliability.
Certainly these uncomfortable questions must be considered when planning a mission to Mars, but the "recent discovery" has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with manned spaceflight. While 581c is a mere stone's throw away in astronomical terms, at a distance of roughly 0.1% of the galactic diameter, it's still twenty light years away. We won't be sending manned expeditions on distances a millionth of that in our lifetime. (20 light years is about three million times the distance of Mars at opposition.)
I'd ask why the AP is sending idiots to cover science stories... but I suppose these idiots are probably the smartest guys they've got.
Sex in space, death in space:
I’m surprised no one has mentioned an answer to both issues.
Necrophilia in space.
There. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
