It's not like EVERY women I meet goes insane! Though the percentage is unusually high...

I worked with her for a very brief time but she was incredibly competent and level headed. Definitely not somebody you would point at and say "Yep, that one is going to snap one of these days."

Nothing to see here
Nowak received her commission from the U.S. Naval Academy in May 1985, and reported to flight school after six months of temporary duty at Johnson Space Center. She earned her wings as a Naval Flight Officer in June 1987, followed by Electronic Warfare School at Corry Station, Florida, and initial A-7 training at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. She was assigned to Electronic Warfare Aggressor Squadron 34 at Point Mugu, California, where she flew EA-7L and ERA-3B aircraft, supporting the fleet in small and large-scale exercises with jamming and missile profiles. While assigned to the squadron, she qualified as Mission Commander and EW Lead. In 1992, Nowak completed two years of graduate studies at Monterey, and began working at the Systems Engineering Test Directorate at Patuxent River, Maryland. In 1993, she was selected for both Aerospace Engineering Duty and U.S. Naval Test Pilot School. After graduation in June 1994, she stayed at Patuxent River working as an aircraft systems project officer at the Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility and at Strike Aircraft Test Squadron, flying the F/A-18 and EA-6B. Nowak was then assigned to the Naval Air Systems Command, working on acquisition of new systems for naval aircraft, when she was selected for the astronaut program.

At some point during her drive from Houston to Orlando, you'd think she'd have had some time to consider what a dumb idea this was.Lugnut said:
Curious about the guy and what's going on with him right now.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Disguised in a dark wig, glasses and a trench coat, U.S. space shuttle astronaut Lisa Nowak waited in hiding for a woman she considered a rival for another astronaut's affections and tried to kidnap her, police in Orlando said on Monday.

With all those items found, one would think her plans were horrid!

If Nowak had any fortitude or patience, she would have waited until she and her rival were on a space mission together, and then pushed the rival out of an airlock. Kind of like how Els Clottemans has been accused of doing away with her rival during a parachute jump.

I don't think her rival is an astronaut. Not to mention it wouldn't be that easy to toss her out.
