Astronaut charged with kidnap attempt

[SoulManX]

ORLANDO, Fla. - An astronaut drove from Houston to Florida, donned a disguise and confronted a woman she believed was romantically involved with a space shuttle pilot she was in love with, police said. She was charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts.

U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail. Police said Nowak drove from her home in Houston to the Orlando International Airport — wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate — to confront Colleen Shipman.
Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery's trip to the space station last December, police said.
Nowak told police that her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship," according to an arrest affidavit. Police officers recovered a love letter to Oefelein in her car.

Nothing says "I Love You" better than wearing diapers so you can drive from Houston to Orlando without having to stop to urinate.

I read this story earlier this morning... How long until it shows up on a Law & Order episode?

I guess all astronauts aren't that great.

So now female astronauts have to live down the stereotype that they are psycho hose-beast ****es.

that would make the argument of that law and order episode...maybe Law & Order SVU?

 

[Dope Nose]

[chamber-music]

Astronaut charged with attempted murder


ORLANDO, Fla. - A NASA astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a romantic rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections was charged with attempted first-degree murder Tuesday and jailed on $25,000 bail.

"The intent was there to do serious bodily injury or death," said Orlando Police Sgt. Barb Jones, referring to a new steel mallet, knife, rubber tubing and large garbage bags that police found in Lisa Marie Nowak's possession.
Nowak, a 43-year-old Navy captain and married mother of three, had already been charged with attempted kidnapping, attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery.

Dude! I laughed my ass off all the way to school. It definitely kept me warm to know that no matter how rich, or how intelligent people become no one, not anyone is safe from petty jealousy, emotional breakdown and other quaint human reactions. I hope she gets the help she needs because attempted murder is a serious offense.

Girl had on diapers ya'll...muthfkin' diapers! Hahahahahahahaha...sheeeet.

 

[incubat]

that's a sign of love

Yes but apparently the docs thought she was sane

 

[incubat]

maybe she went insane in space...i heard it happened

 

[Eros]

This proves anybody can become an astronaut.

 

[Manic]

Space... Madness!

 

[Lord Doom]

I had Space Madness once. Took some Tylenol, got a little rest, it cleared right up.

I knew somebody had to have made a thread about this. I laughed all day over this nonsense. t:
