Cape Canaveral, Fla. (AP) -- Astronaut Lisa Nowak was fired from NASA on Wednesday, a month after she was charged with trying to kidnap a woman she regarded as her romantic rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot.
NASA officials said Nowak's dismissal did not reflect the space agency's belief in her guilt or innocence. The agency said it lacked an administrative system to handle the allegations because Nowak is a naval officer on assignment to NASA, rather than a NASA civil servant.
If Nowak were a civil servant, NASA would have the choice of placing her on administrative leave, leave without pay or indefinite suspension until the charges are resolved, said NASA spokesman James Hartsfield in Houston. But because she is an officer, those options are not available.
Nowak, a captain in the Navy, instead will return to the military.

That'll be after she's made to be the victim and the bad man who was doing her and the little air force captain at the same time becomes the villain.
NASA's Tailhook.
Then the little miss will get a slap on the wrist and the Navy will make her an Admiral in the Hillary Clinton administration.
Just keep repeating; "It's only a bad dream...."

Theorem: No article about Nowak can go for more than 400 words without using the word "Diaper".
Checking ... yup!

No wonder - she was tired after the long trip and had a bad hair day.
What is odd, as reported on Nancy Grace yesterday, is that her home was never searched and she is back living there.
