Proof that Smart People Do Make Stupid Mistakes

Lisa Nowak and the man in the middle


Astronaut charged with attempted murder is released on bond - Orlando Sentinel : Space & Science Astronaut charged with attempted murder is released on bond - Orlando Sentinel : Space & Science

NASA astronaut accused of attacking a rival for another astronaut's affection at Orlando International Airport was released on $25,500 bond after authorities upped the ante in her case, charging her with attempted first-degree murder.

Lisa Nowak has 3 kids, is 43 years old and should know better. Apparently being smart and confident doesn't make you invulnerable to stupid acts.

Lisa armed and disguised herself and drove 900 miles from Texas to Florida to confront her rival, Colleen Shipman. After spraying her with pepper spray, Lisa was caught.

And now she is in BIG trouble because her charges can lead to lifetime imprisonment.

The thing of this whole tawdry affair is that there really was no romantic string to connect Lisa with Navy Commander William Oefelein.

The only thing I can say to Lisa is what were you thinking? You trained to be an astronaut and you are definitely very smart.

Colleen Shipman the alleged victim

This whole situation is messed up. Lisa Nowak doesn't belong in jail but she has to face up to her responsibilities. She made the stupid decision to hurt people and for what?

The love of a man that isn't romantically involved with her...

I just bet Lisa isn't the only person who done something like this. So the lesson here is DO NOT do stupid things in the name of love. It doesn't work and can get you sent to jail!!!
