If you think about it the only surprising thing about this astronaut kidnapping story is that it, or something similar, hasn't happened previously.The astronaut corps is made up of people who are driven. They spend their entire life in pursuit of that goal. They are a group of individuals who refuse to take no for an answer by profession. Of all the type A personalities they are the type A-iest.
It seems to me it would only take a few neurons firing in the wrong direction for somebody with that personality to extend that trait into their personal life in a destructive manner. It was only a matter of time.

From Jethro Tull's "Apogee":
So glad they put this window in.
How to explain, how to begin?
See! Tennyson and Wordsworth there
waiting for me in the cold, thin air.
Beware a host of unearthly daffodils
drifting golden, turned up loud.
Tell the boys back home,
I'm gonna get some.
The Wrong Stuff's loose in here ---
I'm climbing up the walls,
at apogee.
So hoist the skull and bones ---
death and glory's free,
at apogee.
A stranger wind, a solar breeze ---
I'm walking out upon the starry seas.
See pyramids, see standing stones ---
pink cotton undies and blue telephones.
Goodbye, cruel world that was my home ---
there's a cleaner space out there to roam.
Put my feet up on the moons of Mars ---
sit back, relax and count the stars.
Creepy!
What ever happened to girls just starting badass rumors about their love rival?
I bet she could have gotten her fired with some juicy office gossip.
Geez, doesn't she have the cajones, patience and lethal dose of schadenfreude to do it the REAL women would, the old-fashioned way?
This story would have been more interesting if the other woman was a robot or alien. Just sayin'.
The best part is that Lisa Marie Nowak wore Diapers so she wouldn't have to stop for a bathroom break on her way to Florida... I guess astronauts have fetishes too.

That was a perfect reference for this story.

Hee. See, I never would've thought of that. I would've gone the hollywood route. Get yourself assigned the same shuttle mission as your rival then "accidentally" vent the cargo bay when she's back there without a space suit.

Apparently you haven't seen "The Astronaut's Wife." It belies your statement.

I believe the adult diapers were "Oops, I Crapped Myself." (A SNL fake commercial reference if it doesn't ring a bell.)
