Ground control to Major Tom…
Looks like even NASA’s tight screening procedures can’t identify and keep nutcases like this woman out of its space program.
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 will remain jailed.
Now, you just know this wouldn’t be on Hot n Stinky if there weren’t some more interesting details…
Police said Nowak drove 900 miles, donned a disguise and was armed with a BB gun and pepper spray when she confronted a woman she believed was a competitor for the affections of Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, an unmarried fellow astronaut.
…
Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn’t have to stop to go to the bathroom, authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.
Guess that training wasn’t wasted. She did learn something. Too bad they didn’t spend more time on inter-astronaut dating.
If she really wanted a man, maybe she should have tried 911.
