Astronaut charged with kidnap attempt
ORLANDO, Fla. - An astronaut drove 900 miles and donned a disguise
to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space
shuttle pilot....
U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission
to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle
burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied
bail.
(...)
When she found out that Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, Nowak
decided to confront her, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak raced from
Houston to Orlando wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate,
authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.
Dressed in a wig and a trench coat, Nowak boarded an airport bus that
Shipman took to her car in an airport parking lot.
