Kristen – It’s not likely she will be permitted to stay in the Navy. She may even lose her retirement pay.The charges that could be brought against her are just a lose/lose situation…feel very sorry for her and her family.The Navy (and NASA) loses an obviously talented, well educated, proficent pilot and dedicated officer.She loses…everything.

Affairs of the heart…who could say they would have been so much smarter.Sad story, the press should just leave it be.

Wow. It never occured to me that she’d be able to stay in the Navy. At the very least, isn’t that conduct unbecoming?

I find it hard to believe that she wasn’t contemplating murder, even if the criminal charges don’t include that word. And yet still, when I look at her picture, I feel pity. She was at the top, and that’s a long, long way to fall.

Every time we try to talk about this at work, we end up laughing. It’s Commander Oefelein’s situation that is the funniest. Nowak’s life just became a tragedy, for herself, the kids, all of it.
But Oefelein’s world. Imagine what going to work, or the O Club is like, “Hey Offie! Got any dating tips for us?” “What’s it like banging a crazy chick?” “Hey lover boy, tear the clothes off anyone on the tarmac today?” and so on.We were always merciless, and he can’t hide, it’s in the newspapers, on the web.
His chances of promotion are likely hosed, too. How long will it be before they give him another shuttle mission, considering what the press will publish, “Nowak’s Lover Launches! Nowak’s feelings now about her former life, on the next Entertainment Tonight!”
And of course she was planning murder. The victim would have disappeared, and Ms. Nowak was just planning to go home, hopefully in a fresh diaper, to get her hair done and go back to her life (and Commander Offie, AKA “The Love Machine”)

Ok, this is the last time I’ll ask this, whether or not anybody answers.

What did Captain Nowak have in mind to do with the 4 feet of rubber tubing? What was the O.D. and the I.D. of that piece of criminal apparatus?

Do y’all think I might be a weird person for asking that question?

What was she *thinking*? I mean, I shudder when I look at that mug shot, and try to imagine what her kids think about this.

And, yeah, mug shots are forever. Bill Gates looks like a doofus stoner in his, just to give an example.

P. S. e-mail is public, as Ollie North found out too late.
