I'm sorry. Don't astronauts need to go through a battery of psychological tests? Maybe she went space-crazy or something.

The diapers are the absolute kicker. She got too comfortable with doing it in her space suit.

Not a good day for Americans, is it? Psychotic astronauts and incompetent air force pilots...

She is also married with three kids... This will probably be made into a movie soon, with classic supense scenes like this:

...At the parking lot, Captain Shipman noticed the other woman was following her, she told the police, and quickly entered her car after hearing �running footsteps� behind her.

Captain Nowak, with her hood pulled over her head, approached the car window and tried to open the door.

�Can you help me please?� she said to Captain Shipman, according to the affidavit. �My boyfriend was supposed to pick me up and he is not here. I�ve been traveling and it�s late. Can you give me a ride to the parking office?�

Captain Shipman said no, but offered to send help, which Captain Nowak declined, asking to use her cellphone instead. Captain Shipman told her the battery was dead.

When Captain Shipman would not open the door, Captain Nowak began to cry and said she could not hear Captain Shipman, the affidavit said. When Captain Shipman cracked open the window, Captain Nowak sprayed pepper spray into the vehicle, the authorities said...

I guess this proves NASA astronauts are well trained. A regular psycho wouldn't have had the trip as efficiently planned out as her. Laughing

According to the monologue on the "Late Late Show", she wasn't wearing an ordinary adult diaper - it was a special "space diaper" that astronauts use on shuttle missions ...

Here's a picture of her underneath her lover:
