Space Forum / Shuttle / July 2007Lisa Nowak, Back in the News
Nowak Agreeable to Sharing Oefelein with Other Woman By John A. Torres FLORIDA TODAY posted: 10 July 2007 04:53 pm ET During her initial interview with police, Lisa Nowak asked more than a dozen times if she could speak with Colleen Shipman, the woman she was charged with having just attacked, according to a transcript of the February interrogation. Nowak said she did not intend to kill Shipman during their Orlando International Airport encounter. She also pleaded with police to reduce her charges, asked whether she could go to work after the interview, and insisted she would have been comfortable sharing the affections of former astronaut Bill Oefelein with Shipman. The State Attorney's Office in Orlando released the 72-page transcript Monday despite the objections of Nowak's attorney, Donald Lykkebak. There was no mention of Nowak wearing diapers, despite earlier police reports that she admitted using them to reduce the number of times she'd have to stop during her drive from Houston to Orlando. Lykkebak has denied those reports, which he called "a preposterous tale." According to the transcript, on two occasions she mentioned the prospect of both she and Shipman dating Oefelein. "I don't know that he was in a position of exclusively being with one person," Nowak said. "As long as everybody knows that that's the case . . . I mean a single person can go out with as many people as they want . . . At some point if everyone all knows about that and they're all OK with it, you don't have to make a choice if everyone's OK.".... She also stressed that just two weeks earlier, Oefelein picked her up from an airport. "I mean, you just don't do that for anybody," she said. http://www.space.com/news/070710_ft_nowak_police.html [ So because Oefelein drove Lisa Nowak home from the airport, she thought that meant he had fallen in love with her? The limo drivers in Houston should be thankful she didn't call a limo service. ]  SignatureSteven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. I think its all very sad. Over here, we would call this a domestic, but I imagine the other woman, is pressing charges so it probably does not matter what Lisa thought. Unfortunately, some emotions can make the most apparently level headed person into an idiot. A salutary tale and a warning for future long term space colonies I feel. I wonder if this sort of stuff happens at Antarctic bases?

Good question. I wonder if they stock anti-depressants, anti-psychotic, and other medications "just in case". My thought is any trip to Mars should stock some.

Long term nuclear submarine tours of duty, and even the Shackelton(sp) and other early Antarctic exploration trips should offer lessons here. There was that trip to Antarctica where their ship got frozen in the ice over the water, got crushed, they refitted a lifeboat for some of that crew to sail to a small group of islands that some whalers were based in, then went back to get the rest of the crew back in Antarctica. IIRC, they didn't lose any of that crew. Surely someone in that crew had issues one time or another... And be sure that the bureaucrats don't much up the HAL9000 computer... :-) > > Good question.

My thought is any trip to Mars > > should stock some. had a friend who spent years in alaska working for GE the contractor looking for inconing russian bombs. said there was lots of wierd behavior and thats backed up by my friend and some others I met over the years. these sorts of jobs must attract people who go to the beat of a different drummer. basically voluntarily locked up 24 / 7 on a island or small base in turkey 12 hours on 12 hours off for years at a time...... takes a different sort of person......... drug use was rampant, odd behavior the norm. > Long term nuclear submarine tours of duty, and even the Shackelton(sp) > and other early Antarctic exploration trips should offer lessons here.

It was luck that allowed a subgroup to reach the whaling station, and indeed nobody of the crew was killed. But with regard to interperseonal relationships, it is widely recognized that it was Shakelton's style of leadership that made this possible at all. Jan >> Good question.

Yes. Comparing apples to oranges is almost always a useful method of deductive reasoning. D. SignatureTouch-twice life. Eat. Drink. Laugh. -Resolved: To be more temperate in my postings.

The revelant part is that you have a crew of people stuck together for long periods of time in uncomfortable and maybe dangerous conditions. That it's a wooden ship just of Antarctica vs a spacecraft going to Mars is a minor point for this. No real way to up and quit, and no quick way to bail out and go home... >> Good question.

The ship was the "Endurance", and the story is told in the book of the same name. If I ran this world that book would be required reading for every American man, woman & child at least once a decade, especially for members of minority groups. Everyone was required to pull their weight(often literally) and whining wasn't tolerated. snip > The ship was the "Endurance", and the story is told in the book of the > same [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > minority > groups.
