Charged astronaut returns to Texas

HOUSTON - Hiding her face from the cameras, astronaut Lisa Nowak returned to Texas on Wednesday, a day after being charged in Florida with trying to murder the woman she believed was her romantic rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections. Nowak was charged in Orlando on Tuesday with attempted first-degree murder, attempted kidnapping and three other crimes stemming from what police described as a love triangle involving a fellow astronaut. She was released on bail but ordered to stay away from the other woman and to wear a monitoring device.
The woman featured to the right in the picture above is really lucky to be alive today and not buried somewhere and never to be found again. Had it not been for the fact that she was able to get inside her car and lock her car doors, she would have surely met the fate that the woman on the left had methodically planned for her. Also, had the woman on the left been just an ordinary person she would have never been freed on bail for an attempted murder charge and would be sitting in jail. Lisa Nowak had planned the murder of Colleen Shipman where there would have been absolutely no evidence to implicate her in this murder.
drove 900 miles from Houston, Texas to Florida. They say wore a diaper to keep from having to make restroom stops so she could get to Florida in a faster time. Why didn't she just take a commercial air flight from Houston to Florida? Probably because she knew that others who have committed similar murderous crimes were caught on airport security film or were identified by airport staff and so this very smart individual whom was smart enough to become an astronaut wanted to make sure that she was never caught.
wore the diaper so she wouldn't have to use public bathrooms along her 900 mile journey. Doing so would make it possible for her to be identified by some gas stations that use video surveillance. Lisa also paid for everything using cash. Lisa wanted to make sure there was no paper trail left behind which she knows could reveal her whereabouts while traveling to Florida.
The only thing that prevented from committing her perfect murder was the fact that she wasn't able to quickly get Colleen Shipman under her control when she confronted her at the airport parking lot.
This story about NASA's astronauts has to make you wonder if space flights are safe. Can you imagine how easy it would be for someone with a loose screw working at NASA to be able to sabotage a space flight so that the space ship would crash intentionally or explode after take off? All it would take would be a love triangle within NASA's personnel. The question I have is has this happened already at NASA on any of the space flights that ended in a tragedy? NASA would never admit to something like that especially knowing it would risk having public funding for the space program discontinued. NASA has become a special club for the elite where politics decides who becomes an astronaut- or better yet, who becomes an asshole-naut. This is truly one pathetic story.
