Star-crossed lovers

If you�re going to get arrested, you might not want to look like this:

W020572a1

According to the article posted here, Lisa Marie Nowak, a NASA astronaut and robotics specialist, was charged with attempting to kidnap a romantic rival in a love triangle with another astronaut. Nowak was ordered released on bail Tuesday on condition that she not contact the alleged victim. Police said she drove some 1,400 kilometers, 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 rode aboard Discovery in July. Oefelein, 41, piloted the space shuttle Discovery in December. They trained together but never flew together.

But wait, there�s more!:

�Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn't have to make rest stops, authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.�

�and apparently astronauts also wear them when out hunting down their man�s extra lady friend.

"Nowak told police her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship," according to an arrest affidavit."

We�re pretty sure that translates to �fuck buddies.� Way to go and ruin a good thing, Nowak. Now where are you going to go for space nookie?
