Absolute crazyness.. I mean, I remember watching all of these people on NASA TV during the missions and now they're all in this nutty crap. People are people I suppose. Nowak definitely won't be back in any kind of upfront role for NASA.

Highlights:
Nowak flew as MS on STS-121, the July 4th launch. Oefelein was pilot of STS-116, the early December night launch. Oefelein is unmarried but with two children. There is no word on Oefelein's side of things or Shipman's. Nowak's astronaut career is almost certainly over and she probably faces a dishonorable discharge from the military. There is no reason to suspect any damage to Oefelein or Shipman.• An astronaut is accused of trying to kidnap a romantic rival
• Both were vying for the affection of astronaut Bill Oefelein, police report says
• Lisa Marie Nowak is arrested on battery, attempted kidnapping charges
• Nowak is married with three children
Nowak is currently scheduled to be the Orbit 1 (Shift 1) CAPCOM for STS-117 in March.

An astronaut bondage chick wearing a diaper. I am so turned on right now I can't even stand it.Inside the car, police found an a half-dozen latex gloves, MapQuest directions from Houston to Orlando International Airport, e-mails from Shipman to Oefelein, diapers that Nowak said she used to eliminate stops along the highway, a letter indicating how much she loved Oefelein and directions to Shipman's home address in Florida, the report said.
Hah. That sounds like a very astronaut-like solution to long distance travel. "Hmm. How do I avoid having to get out of my car? Wear diapers, of course!"Inside the car, police found [...] diapers that Nowak said she used to eliminate stops along the highway
I think astronauts wear diapers professionally, so they are more ready to use them.Originally Posted by Glenn

"How can we get media attention for the space program without another shuttle disaster?"
"Have one of the 'nauts go nutty and try to kidnap a co-worker?"
"That's not bad, but it lacks oopmh."
"How about if the kidnapper is married, has kids, is having an affair with ANOTHER co-worker and tries to kidnap the third leg of that love triangle?
"Brilliant!"
Think I saw that in L&O: Criminal Intent once.Originally Posted by AndrewM

NASA will do anything to generate some interest in the space program! When I was a kid, we got out of school to watch the rocket blast off. Now lift offs rarely warrent a spot on the evening news.Originally Posted by Malderi
Ha, ha! That's what I'm talking about. You beat me to the punch line danimal. I totally think this is a setup. Ask not what the space program can do for you, Ms Nowak; Ask what you can do for the space program!Originally Posted by dannimal
Fuck. I worked with her back when she was at Pax. She's a tiny thing, and cute. She's flushed her career right down the shitter to be sure.
Too bad.

Um, I think she has more pressing worries, such as having gone completely out of her mind.Fuck. I worked with her back when she was at Pax. She's a tiny thing, and cute. She's flushed her career right down the shitter to be sure.
What was the rubber tubing for?
Probably to tie up the rival.
Backup, just in case the diaper malfunctioned. It's all about redundant systems at NASA.Originally Posted by LarryLard
This is the greatest story of the year if not the decade. I don't want to generalize and go so far as to say women are crazy as fuck where love/lust/crushes are involved, but I will say that women are fuckin' crazy where crushes/lust/love are involved.
Good thing she's already used to wearing an orange jumpsuit with her name and number on it.

Flowers wins.
If someone who is highly educated, trained to handle the most stressful situations, and supposedly stable enough to handle multi-billion dollar equipment on missions into space can snap like this, what's that say about the rest of us? I bet there's half a dozen people reading QT3 right now with steel mallets, rubber tubing and diapers in their car. The $600 though, not so much.
Someone needs to update that... ;)Originally Posted by Malderi
Because you know, taking off that tan trench coat and wig and throwing them in the trash will SO make you look innocent in the airport parking lot at 3am.
Also, between the pic on this thread and the one on CNN, jesus did she do some crank for a year or two or what?
They really should have gone with "skeet shooting" there.Originally Posted by Crazy Woman's Biography
Yea, us guys are much more sane. We often go in for the simple murder/suicide at a nearby trailer park or fast food place when we're jilted. No elaborate cross-country trips with cars full of rubber and plastic for us.Originally Posted by Tyjenks
Exactly. Simple and efficient as opposed to insanely elaborate.Originally Posted by Sidd_Budd

The crazy woman had plastic bags, a mallet, a couple of knives, and rubber tubing. She was going to bludgeon this woman to death, use the tubing to tie off her limbs, and then use the knife to cut up the woman and put the parts in trash bags.
You know gamma rays did crazy things to the Fantastic Four. I think they made this woman into Wacko-Woman.
I believe Smut is referring to NAS Patuxent River in Maryland.Originally Posted by SpoofyChop

After Shipman was sated from a fine feast and had all her yardwork done for the month, Nowak was going to challenge her to a bb gun target shoot for the love of Oefelein. Nowak was banking that her display of sincere friendship earlier in the evening would make Shipman give Nowak her blessing in return. Barring that, Shipman would be drowsy from all the parmesan rolls and her aim would be off.
