NASA terminates Nowak from space program |
2007-03-08 |
![]() Nowak, who was arrested last month in Orlando on charges she attempted to kidnap a romantic rival, remains an active duty naval officer. She has been "on detail" to NASA as an astronaut since her selection in 1996. NASA requested an end to the relationship because "the agency lacks the administrative means to deal appropriately with the criminal charges pending," a NASA press release said. Nowak is not subject to administrative action by NASA because she is a naval officer on assignment and not a space agency civil servant. |

#7 For those of you who simply cannot get enough of this story, the Houston Chronicle has a PDF file of their email exchanges here. The multiple layers of quotes makes it a little hard to read. Some might enjoy Oefelein's p7 pep talk about going back to the moon, and how he'd be happy to clean toilets for lunar astronauts (hmm, might be prescient). On p6, Colleen Shipman describes her car troubles. I had the same one with my last car, but it sprang up a few weeks after I got it, and not because I didn't change the spark plugs once in 80,000 miles. (Hmph.) On p1 she calls her boss a jackass. I don't know who she's talking about, of course, but I bet he does. The Chronicle's version of the linked article has an Our-Story-So-Far list o' links. |
