ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A married U.S. astronaut was accused of attempted murder and trying to kidnap a rival for another astronaut's affections on Tuesday, and held in jail.
U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, who flew on the space shuttle Discovery last July, drove 950 miles from Houston to Orlando -- wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate -- to assault a woman she considered competition for the affections of a male astronaut, police said.
GOOD GOD STOP RE-POSTING THIS!
Sorry someone beat me to it as I was doing the post.
Don't even have to use the ineffective FR search - a quick scan of current replies will show about 1/3 of them devoted to previous threads on this topic.
Don't they do some kind of psycho test on astronauts? This lady shouldn't have slipped through the cracks. Diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate? What a psycho.
Diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate?
Probably NASA issue. They use them on launch and reentry/landing. I suspect female pilots of smaller aircraft, single and two seat fighters for example, use them too, since a relief tube is out of the question.

No, this is ANOTHER Lady astronaut who tried to kill a rival. It's just a bizarre coincidence that it was on the same day :0)
The threads proliferate. Is 20 enough? 30? 50?
You'd think it's an election day!
Needs more vanities pointlessly speculating on causes and effects of the scandal with plenty of tin-foil-hattery.
...evidently has the Right Stuff!
His call name must be Dirk Diggler

I stopped posting new threads, excepting a couple of special items like the Alaska earthquake, 2-3 years ago. Now if there is a new development I will post it within an existing thread. Many others do that also. It is probably a valid way to manage these topics as long as there is no way to concatenate threads aside from linking, and it keeps all the amazing commentary in one place.
She's been into outer space - and she'd risk her future for him?!?
LOL. GOOD GOD STOP READING EACH AND EVERY REPOSTING.
Sorry. couldn't resist.
LOL! Or Seymour Butts!
Isn't that Derek Zoolander?
It's full o' them damn astronauts!
