You cannot make up such a silly headline, either. Tang? Come on now.

Lisa is an astranaut, a woman, a mother and a wife. She got carried away, never mind the circumstance, like all human beings do sometimes. She deserves compassion, love and forgiveness rather than the harsh words and treatment she is receiving right now. Here we see mob justice from all quarters and even though she has been found guilty of attempted murder, she is still a human being and what she has done is something that others have done before and will still do because we are human. I pray that her husband will not look at her with the eyes of family unity haters, but that he will embrace her back into his arms because right now, she needs him more than ever. I pray that he may see the big picture from God's eyes who forgives us all our sins and gives us a second chance, and many more second chances! This act of forgiveness will not only benefit his children, but his name will go down in history as a man of great courage, compassion and love!

Down with hatred, up with love and reconciliation.

To Lisa: Though you may suffer for the bad choice you made, I pray that you have courage to face the concequences and have faith in God who will give you strength, one day at a time because weeping may last for the night, but joy will come in the morning.

They don't come much better than this. You could actually hear the media salivate. Maybe NASA was better off with monkeys.

I am not saying Lisa Marie Nowak has mental health problems. Only a professional can determine that for sure. But as one who was married to a woman with mental health problems, I can tell you there is no limit to what a person like that will do. Depending on the state of mind of the person, no act is too bizarre.

Lisa Marie Nowak has achieved more in life that most of us can only imagine. She needs all the help she can possible get including understanding from all of us. I would strongly urge the DA to drop charges against her in exchange for long-term counseling and care.

There's always hope for a 'Lifetime - Television for Women' movie...

Wow, maybe this will generate some much needed funding for NASA. Science is a hard sell but this obviously sells itself. Come on, how about a little action from Mission Control? Maybe they could leak some audio of controllers talking sexy. Mmmmm funding.

I believe she has contracted a rare case of space madness. It is a crippling disorder that affects humans who have been to space and descend to earth too rapidly. The effects on the brain are tremendous and overwhelming for the subject. The mechanism works in very much the same way as the 'bends', which is why this sickness is sometimes referred to as the space bends or astro bends.

She planned this out very well. The plans included the foresight to wear diapers on her way to Florida so that she would not have to stop to relieve herself. She deserves a formal naval flogging and a written letter of apology to America for disgracing its noble space force.

I suspect it's all about hormones. She's at that age... obviously someone would have had a clue at NASA if she had displayed any inkling of crazy or criminal tendencies before this. This just sounds like really bad peri-menopause to me...

Using the diaper was not outlandish. It is part of Astonaught Training. You think they sit in the Shuttle, on the Launch Pad for 8 to 12 hours, before launch... holding it. That was an efficient, and calculated plan action... albeit stupid. Love makes one do stupid things... hey... I don't think -pepper spray, a knife and a disguise was a good idea. What ever happened to the old b**ch slap?

I still like the theory that she's on meth.

I can't believe some of these comments that just want to excuse her actions as a simple breakdown. There was nothing simple about this woman's actions. If the pepperspray had worked, what would the headline really look like? She PLANNED her attack; buying the weapon, pepper spray, disquise, hammer and rubber tubing then had a very long car ride to contemplate her actions. Her 'breakdown' should be considered severe but there was nothing instant or temporary about it. Her victims (including her children to whom she gave no thought) should receive your sympathies, not Lisa. Yes, she is obviously an intelligent woman, but IQ has never been an excuse for criminal conduct.

Thank god she was not MuslimFeb 7th, 2007 - 23:20:35

Thank God, Nowak was not a Muslim, otherwise within a second her fore fathers and church and relatives could have been searched for her behaviour and conduct and she would have remained in the jail without bail.

She is to unstable to ever fly as an astronaut again.

Give her the chair. Or better yet lets jetteson her into space. This just goes to show that women shouldn't be astronauts. The estrogine gets funky in zero gravity and messes with their mental.
