U.S. astronaut accused of attempted murder

ORLANDO, Florida - A married U.S. astronaut was accused on Tuesday with attempting to kidnap and kill a rival for the affections of a fellow astronaut after a bizarre 950-mile drive wearing diapers to confront the woman.

U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, who has three children, was initially arrested on attempted kidnapping charges on Monday in Orlando after assaulting Colleen Shipman, a U.S. Air Force captain she considered competition for the affections of a male astronaut, police said.

Nowak was then granted release on $15,500 bail Tuesday morning on the kidnapping charge. But her release was halted at the last minute when police filed a new charge of attempted first-degree murder -- rocking the elite world of NASA astronauts.

Police said Nowak, 43, a flight engineer who made her first space flight in July to the International Space Station aboard shuttle Discovery, sped 950 miles from Houston to Orlando, wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop at a bathroom.

She disguised herself in a dark wig, glasses and trench coat to confront Shipman at Orlando International Airport but "only wanted to scare" the woman into talking to her, she told police.

Arguing against her detention, Nowak's attorney, Donald Lykkebak, said his client's commitment to her career and her service to the United States should be taken into account.

"At times like this, judge, one's good works must count for something," he said.

Nowak drove to Orlando airport around midnight on Sunday night, waited for Shipman's flight from Houston to arrive and then followed Shipman to the parking garage armed with pepper spray, a steel mallet and a BB gun, police said.

She also carried black gloves, a folding knife with a 4-inch (10-cm) blade, rubber tubing and trash bags, they said.

In a search of Nowak's car, police later found diapers that Nowak told them she wore so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate during her drive from Houston. Astronauts wear diapers during shuttle launches and landings.

Nowak tried to get into Shipman's car and sprayed what may have been pepper spray through the window when Shipman refused to open the door, police said.

Nowak told police she did not intend to physically harm Shipman.

In her statement, Nowak described her connection to male astronaut Bill Oefelein as "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship."

Nowak, who grew up in Rockville, Maryland, and attended the U.S. Naval Academy, became an astronaut in 1996 and waited 10 years for her first space flight. She was scheduled to be a lead commentator on the next shuttle flight, a key role for an astronaut on the ground.

[Arch]

Maybe zero-gravity cunnilingus is a little too underrated.

[Gizmo]

Is this going to be on the next Jerry Springer.

Is this real? * goes off to search newsgroups*

I just don't see why she would throw her career away like that all over some man?????????? If it is true, she is one DUMB broad.

************** Damn, it is real, wow.

I provided a link and quoted the news report.

Just because YOU can't believe something...
1. Because she's a woman
2. Because of her profession

You have to assume otherwise?

I find that VERY interesting that you are shocked as to what some women will do in situations involving men, as if there are not any crazy women in this world.

Your statements show you as anti-men. Do you think that is normal?

You are anti-men, is that normal?

Dude, are you the KING of Drama or what? (rhetorical question here too!)

Nah, I am not anti-men AT ALL... in fact SOME men are so awesome, they make me want drool because of their intelligence and their mannerisms. It's the people that LACK the intelligence enough to see the clear right and wrong of certain matters, ESPECIALLY when it comes down to the simple rules of how to TREAT someone. I kind of find it repulsive that there are some human beings walking this earth that haven't learned RIGHT from WRONG by now.... especially when it comes to the well-being of others and COMMON DECENCY. I mean, this woman was going to KIDNAP and MURDER another person because of some guy she was interested in? Wow.

I understand you provided the link James, but since you're grillin' me on my reasons for making the comments on the above story.... I will let ya know...since the link you provided was more of a "local paper" type of link, I wanted something more credible to view for myself to see if the story was in fact true... so pardon me for HAVING MY OWN THOUGHTS ON A SUBJECT....thinking that a woman whom is that educated and whom has been through military training, etc. I would THINK she would have better sense than to go through all of that, risk her career that she'd worked for... and yes, ALL OVER A MAN. (It could be all over a woman... who cares what the gender is... but to risk your entire life and hardwork for LOVE? And the woman even stated she wasn't even romantically to that LEVEL with the guy yet... I mean, it just boggles my mind!) These are MY OPINIONS James. I'm NOT sorry but the last time I checked I actually served my country to defend my right to freedom of speech thank you very much.... but seriously.... DO NOT go stirring the kettle because you don't approve of what side of the story I am on in regard to certain ISSUES of the world today.... just because something ends with a question mark... does NOT mean it wasn't a RHETORICAL question.

Again, let me recap that for you James, I ONLY wanted to see that the report was posted on larger news network websites. Geez, pardon me for WANTING to check out something for MYSELF... I didn't know that was a crime.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYWAY, thanks for posting the story James. Gosh, shall we all hail James now? Sorry I hadn't checked out my newsgroups for the day. I hope we're done here? Again, that was just a rhetorical question.

ANYWAY, you have anything MORE you'd care to toss my way, please feel free to keep your comments to yourself, or PM them to me so I can delete them, as I personally have NOTHING more to say to you about ANYTHING. Got that? Thanks. NEXT.

[James]

Temper Temper.

Once again, coming to wrong conclusions and assuming- doesn't make you right.
I wouldn't call you much of an objective thinker.
And being really stubborn/defensive/confrontational proves my point.
Maybe you should inflect a little more?

Ok... dude.

Having an OPINION does not mean anyone is assuming or coming to ill-informed conclusions.... so, my OPINION doesn't make me right or wrong on any subject, it is merely a thought expressed outwardly based off of the knowledge or information I already had. If you don't like my thoughts on a subject... move along... don't bother yourself with them.

Sorry Daniel-Son, No temper, purely sitting here laughing at your ignorance.

So, how do my OPINIONS here not make me an OBJECTIVE THINKER? Hmmmm. Rhetorical question.... def. does not need an answer from the ALL KNOWING JAMES.

James, grab a clue, just because you feel the need to screw around with MORE people's minds doesn't mean I am going to play into your little warped web of bullshit... trust me, you DO NOT WANT TO TRY THAT CRAP ON ME.

Stubborn? Yes.

Defensive? OF MY RIGHT TO FREEDOM Of SPEECH... YES.

Confrontational? With pricks that think they know it all? HELL YES.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James.... do yourself a favor, and JUST STOP. I know you like to get the last word, and pretend like you are God's gift to the intellectual minds of earth, but really dude... you're embarassing yourself like always, so just stop with your bullcrap already... it gets old after a few years.

YOU REPLIED. I THOUGHT YOU HAD NOTHING MORE TO SAY, LOL!!

btw, i am going to be the better man and not read or respond to your response- which i'm SURE has an apology somewhere. Consider it something I can do that you don't seem to be able to do- even though you talk it. DONE.

Wow. Are you kidding me? Yeah, haha, no worries there.... you'll never be getting any apology from me. You really ARE a nutcase. James, go seek treatment NOW... they have medications for people like you.... I am not trying to be mean here, I am being serious... you definitely need help...

[Jackson]
