Okay, something’s not right here.
Navy Captain and astronaut Lisa Nowak, a married woman with a kid, is in love with fellow astronaut William Oefelein, although she says they don’t have a romantic relationship. She somehow suspects that Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman and Oefelein are love interests, and also knows that Shipman is landing in Orlando on a commercial aircraft that originated at an Air Force base in Florida. So, using her astronaut training, she puts on a diaper so she doesn’t have to stop to relieve herself, and drives 900 miles from Houston to Orlando in time to meet Shipman’s plane. She gets arrested with a Buck knife, pepper spray, a loaded BB gun that looked like a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, and a steel mallet and is charged with attempted murder.
We’re not hearing the whole story. And for some reason, my heart is going out to Nowak.
Have you ever been so in love you thought you were going crazy? Or maybe you were a little crazy. And you were so vulnerable. I’ll bet money that Oefelien led Nowak along. I’ll bet there were some promises made. Big promises. I’ll bet they’re lovers and Nowak is lying to protect her family, but still wants a divorce. I’ll bet Shipman knows all about Nowak. I’ll bet Oefelein turns out to have a heart as cold and unfeeling as a lump of lead.
And maybe in a twisted way she still loves him, but I’ll bet in a year or two, Nowak will wish she’d never met Oefelein.
