[Shuttle astronaut busted for attacking _another_ astronaut.](http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/custom/orl-bk-nasaastronaut0507feb05,0,1639824.story?track=mostviewedlink)

>
> A NASA astronaut is being held without bail after police say she attacked her rival for another astronaut’s attention at Orlando International Airport Monday.
> 
> Lisa Marie Nowak drove more than 12 hours from Texas to meet the 1 a.m. flight of a younger woman who had also been seeing the astronaut Nowak pined for, according to Orlando police.
> 
> Nowak – who was a mission specialist on a Space Shuttle Discovery flight last summer – was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, reports show. They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn’t have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive. Reports show that after U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman’s flight arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport’s Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman’s car and then doused her with pepper spray.

Wonder if when the case goes to court we’ll find out that someone’s had nookie in space.
