NASA Astronaut Love Triangle Pair Engaged
Remember back in 2007, when NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak drove 900 miles overnight while wearing a diaper so she could confront Colleen Shipman, who was messing around with Nowak’s maybe boyfriend, fellow astronaut Bill Oefelein? Well, Nowak has completely lost this war. Not only did she lose her job and have the whole world find about her penchant for soiling herself in the name of love. But now, Oefelein has proposed to Shipman. The two lovebirds are getting hitched next summer.
Oefelein also got fired after the media circus surrounding the case, and he decided to move home to Alaska, where Shipman joined him. Oefelein proposed last month on a 110-mile canoe trip. No word on whether he was wearing a diaper at the time.
So what’s Nowak up to these days? She’s a flight-training instructor in Texas. She officially divorced the husband she was separated from at the time of the drive-all-night incident. She’s also been charged with attempted kidnapping, attempted burglary with assault, and misdemeanor battery—and her lawyer just dropped her insanity defense. Her trial starts in December. [People]
Am I the only one who feels really bad for Nowak in this whole saga? Here’s hoping that she finds the astronaut of her dreams.

I’m mixed on this on one hand Lisa should have been able to control herself on the other some people can make you crazy. I do not get how she thought it was wise to hurt Colleen. I will never understand how people attack the other woman or man when it is obvious that that persons lover is the one doing wrong. Good luck to Colleen she is going to need it.

I suppose love really does conquer all. Even an media circus and unemployment.
