Mailaka you need to get a grip. if my wife tried to kill the woman that was the competition to my wifes lover....uh yeah back into my loving arms aint happening. are you kidding me? I dont know who i want to wish worse things on her or you!
The scary thing is that she almost got away with it! What would have happened if she had? Her bond was very low for crossing several states to commit a couple of the worst felonies there are! I don't care what her education is or her rank,(must have been pretty rank after nine hundred miles in a diaper), or title she should never be let out! I have even less trust for astronauts after seeing her fellow astronauts came to support her. I have a hard time with anyone that would support a mother of three still married commiting this crime with her education and background! The worst part is how she is being pampered and said not to be mentaly fit! Is anyone who commits crimes?
Will she plead quilted or temporary Serenity?
Depends.
Astro-Nut ....Monday, on CBS......
she went space nuts
Seems to me she had a nervous breakdown. She must have been under tremendous stress being an astronaut, having three kids and being separated from her husband.
Look at the bright side- she needed a change of careers:
Fast forward- She will become a spokeswoman for new mission-
mental health for mothers and the importance of early detection.
I say throw the book at her. She has accomplised so much? So is that a reason to treat her with Kit gloves or is that even more of a reason to throw the book at her. She is fucked up
Nicolai, what an ignorant misogynistic comment to make. Do you have a mother? A wife? A sister? A daughter?
When will the swarmy voyeurs be satisfied? When the poor wretched emotionally/mentally distressed woman commits suicide? Leave that to Nancy Grace!
Folks...I grew up around these people. At ten years old I had most of the original astronauts around me at my parents party encouraging my ability to eat a large amount of raw oysters. This was the Mercury/Gemini period.
I knew then that these persons were abnormal and out of touch. Everyone kissed there royal ass, including my dad and mom.
I am surprised that this is the first time we have seen the traits of these bizarre personality types. There are many more incidents that have been secretly made unavailable to the public.
Strange brew of folks. Think about it; sitting in a massive fire cracker to do what? It takes a special kind of folk, but unfortunately this special kind of folk has a special kind of personality.
This was not even close to the weird that has been the NASA astronaut.
Unfortunately, Mz Lisa will be the first exposed.
I know what this woman feels. I have felt this way about a certain person. I was literally obscessed with this man. This is being deeply in love with someone and unable to gain control of your emotions. This can be the most wonderful feeling ever, or the most desperate and painful feeling ever. This is real agony and can literally control all your thoughts and actions. This is what is called 'real love'. Don't let this happen to you. When it ends it is unmercifully painful.
I urge people do not judge Lisa by listening to the media. We're doing more harm than good to her. Nothing of us outside her circle knows what's going on among the three of them. We did not know what and how much she has suffered and that led her to the point that she lost her control of actions. We only learned her actions from the media about her road trip from Huston to the Orlando airport. Does anyone of us know any stories before anything happened?? Be fair to her and let the justice rules. People pay too much attention to this piece of news is just because she's a NASA astronaut. I beg if she's an average person like all of us, the news will not be this dramatic. We are all human beings. We all experienced ups and downs. Give her a chance and not to criticize her, again, while we do not know the truth behind.
Hey Nicolai, be careful of what you're saying.... You're being sexiest.
Go back to your ranch and do the farming. The world has changed. Men and women are all equal. You're critizing this matter far beyond and you're attacking all women by making some very condescending comments. Shame on you. Don't tell me you're a real man.
Headline:
ASTRONUT WAS
ASTRONAUTY!!!
Well, I am a professional, and I'd suggest we wait to see how this rolls out. She certainly appeared to act in a bizarre, unbalanced way. Whether the aftermath of the stresses of the astronaut program, or the sequelae of disorganizing marital stress, it seems that she did not possess the pschic strength to cope with those stresses, and reverted to a primitive defense mechanism. Certainly criminal, but not the act of a criminal mind.
This is certainly a sad story and case. Here we have one of our American Heroes that obviously has used very bad judgment in her life, giving up her whole career and family life. The fact that she has been married 19 years with 3 children and has a husband that is also a NASA engineer, just shows that she is in desperate need of help. A person of her education, Naval rank and personal achievements would not throw it all away with a clear mind.
I say, let's give the lady a chance and give her the help she needs. After all she has given us, I think we owe that to her. I think NASA should step in along with her fellow astronauts and find out why Lisa broke as she did. Are any of our other heroes on the edge like she has obviously been for some time? Do they pose a risk to our fragile space program? We've already lost too many heroes in 2 lost shuttles and an early capsule fire on the launch pad. Let's not start losing more because we just didn't look close enough at our people after the stress they endure for years on end with the training for their missions for us. It's unfortunate that this has happened but I don't think we should be too quick to judge Lisa without a chance. Is she really a criminal or just someone that broke from the pressure and stress of probably one of the most stressful positions in the world.
I say ' Give the lady a break'!
A lot of people have stressful lives, and they don't go over the edge.
She held her job willingly, so if it was too much, she could have walked away. There seems to be too many excuses for her. She certainly had the presence of mind to do some very devious planning. Granted she was separated from her husband, but it seems like she put her quest to be the 'only one' in her lover's life before any thought of her children. Someone mentioned 'true love' - this is a travisty to true love - do you think maybe sexual urges is more like it????
It certainly is bizarre a person of her character would do such an outlandish thing. Yeah, she definitely drank the Tang, lol.
Using pepper spray is no petty offense. I'm not for giving her special treatment just because no one died. Yet we see everyday that money and power trump justice... so yeah, I guess we will see her make a bestseller book out of this.
I believe that Nowak was drawn into obsession by the 'friends with benefits'
relationship that she was having with Commander 'O'. This certainly matches the 'more than friends but less than romantic' description she gave police of the relationship. Their relationship was secret because she was married and they both were officers; they were aware of the consequences that exposure would bring to their careers. The same mentality that drove Nowak to career success is what drove her to take the actions she did on Monday. After separating from her husband, she realized she was going to lose the object of her affection to a younger, single woman....failure was not an option.
