Default Astronaut Nowak, where no man has gone b/f

Don’t know how terribly relevant this is to EP, but regarding NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak, who might be a tad bipolar, and who has recently gone where no man has gone b/f, here’re some updates—

Houston, we have a problem.
After driving 1,000 miles in diapers, no wonder she was so pissed.
Police were concerned when they saw what appered to be UFOs in her diaper; they later determined it was astro-turds.
At first the court wouldn’t grant Nowak bail b/c she was a flight risk; later, when bail was granted, people felt she was being pampered.
Regarding whether she’ll plead temporary insanity, her spokesman said it depends.

It’s being reported that Lisa would always ask her shuttle commander if he’d like a little poon with his tang. Apparently he had the right stuff.

Hollywood said they’d soon contact Lisa for a new movie. Possible titles:

The Wrong Stuff;
Space Cadets Gone Wild;
2007: A Space Idiocy;
Apollo 69
Raging Hormones
The Astronut’s Strife;
From Here to Insanity
Mission Illogical
Astronaut Without a Clue
Lisa La Douche
The Shuttle Commander’s Bitch
Killer Tomato from Space

There’ll also be a documentary: Guess who’s Coming in Outer Space: Is outercourse really better than intercourse?

Default Re: Astronaut Nowak, where many men have gone before

Female, 40 yo, valedictorian, track team member. Later, a USN Acad Grad and landed jets on a carrier deck. She recently managed the boom on a recent shuttle mission.

Married but separated recently after 19 years. Three children.

Love triangle: drove from Texas to Florida, wore a diaper to avoid stops. Carried a new knife, metal mallet, a rubber tube, and pepper spray. She sprayed the "other woman" in a parking lot.

A media psychologist speculated that she might have a chronic personality disorder or reacted to the stress of being a mom and a pilot.

Patti Hauseman: studied female engineering students...concluded they are later to have children and have fewer of them but (I think) are more athletic. Also concluded that women are not in engineering because most of them opt out.

No surprise that women and men sometimes cross traditional roles. And no surprise that Nowak could act like a man in more ways than one.

Bottom lines: Need to count achievements, not the shape of gonads...We pay as a culture an unsupportable cost if we measure equal opportunities by equal achievement. And Nowak gets as many Google entries as Ayaan Hirsi Ali who, in a different way, also acts like a guy...


The relevance to EP: environment (NASA stress) did not cause this all by itself. Environment can only act through genes. A similar confusion emerged in regard to Bill (WD) Hamilton. An author concluded that his moods and activity levels varied because of the stress of being a scientist...crap!
