Here are the photos and story of astronaut Lisa Nowak and Colleen Shipman. Nowak went from heroic NASA space shuttle astronaut to complete tramp in just a few short years. Lisa Nowak is one of the very few women to travel into space, an elite group among the finest women in America.

No more. Look how far she has fallen. Nowak is accused of attempted-murder of U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman. She has apparently been sharing her boyfriend Bill Oefelein with Shipman. Oh, did I mention that Lisa Nowak is married. Yes, a married mother of three children who has a boyfriend who makes her so jealous that she tries to kill the other woman!

Photos of Lisa Nowak and Colleen Shipman are below the fold, along with the video.

A NASA astronaut is charged with attempted first degree murder and will not be released today, according to Allen Moore, a spokesman for Orange County Corrections.

This comes a day after police say she attacked her rival for another astronaut’s attention at Orlando International Airport Monday.

Lisa Marie Nowak drove more than 12 hours from Texas to meet the 1 a.m. flight of a younger woman who had also been seeing the astronaut Nowak pined for, according to Orlando police. She was being held on no bond at Orange County Jail, but a judge this morning set bail at $15,500.

Her commander at NASA, Steve Lindsey, and fellow astronaut Chris Ferguson both appeared on her behalf this morning.

Nowak — who was a mission specialist on a Space Shuttle Discovery flight last summer — was wearing a trench coat and wig and had a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, reports show. They also found diapers, which Nowak said she used so she wouldn’t have to stop on the 1,000-mile drive. Reports show that after U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman’s flight arrived, Nowak followed her to the airport’s Blue Lot for long-term parking, tried to get into Shipman’s car and then doused her with pepper spray.

Nowak, 43, is charged with attempted kidnapping, battery, and attempted vehicle burglary with battery. Orange County Judge Mike Murphy did not find probable cause on another charge, the destruction of evidence. He set bond on the other three charges at $15,000, with a $500 bond on the evidence count.
