By Sarah Bird If a smart, high-achieving, disciplined woman like astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak could be turned into a diaper-wearing, BB-gun-toting crazy person by a guy who ditched her for another woman, you have to wonder: Could a man drive you crazy? That crazy? Sarah Bird gets some answers from a neuropsychiatrist, an evolutionary psychologist, and a woman private eye who's (almost) been there herself. When NASA astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak, 43, recently separated mother of twin 5-year-old girls and a teenage son, scorned lover of navy commander William Oefelein, 41, put on the MAG (maximum absorbency garment) to avoid pit stops during her nearly 1,000-mile drive to confront Billy O's new girlfriend, Colleen Shipman, she headed for a destination she'd never intended. Carrying a BB gun, a four-inch Buck knife, pepper spray, a steel mallet, trash bags, several feet of rubber tubing, a trenchcoat, a wig, and a computer disc containing images of a woman in bondage poses, she made it as planned, from Houston to Orlando—but once there, she ceased to be an international icon of female achievement. Instead, Nowak followed in the footsteps of Jean Harris (headmistress of an elite private boarding school who shot her cheating lover, the Scarsdale diet doctor, Herman Photo: © 2008 Jupiterimages Corporation Tarnower) and Clara Harris (the Houston dentist who ran over her adulterous husband several times) as the latest lovesick woman who had it all and snapped.

The mission, STS-115, succeeded in restarting assembly of the Interna- tional Space Station. The crew delivered and installed the massive P3/P4 truss, an integral part of the station’s backbone, and two sets of solar arrays that will eventually provide one-quarter of the station’s power. Commander Brent Jett, Pilot Chris Ferguson and Mission Specialists Joe Tanner, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Dan Burbank and Canadian astronaut Steve MacLean landed at 6:21 a.m. Sept. 21 at Kennedy Space Center. After landing, Jett commented: “It’s nice to be back. It was a great team effort, so I think assembly’s off to a good start.” ATLANTIS AND her STS-115 crew return to Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 21 and approach Runway 33.

  • CHRONOLOGY of WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013
    CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013 The idea for the Wakeup Call chronology arose as a result of my dual interests in the history of music and the space program. I discovered as soon as I began working as an archivist at the NASA History Office that there was no complete list of these calls sent from Mission Control. There have always been inquiries about flown items and mission events as we all know, and those about wakeup calls and music played in space encompassed a steady stream (no pun intended)! And NASA’s Web pages did provide audio for these calls beginning with STS-85 with the note that: “Wakeup calls are a longstanding tradition of the NASA program” -- yet nothing on when it started. One of the most frequent inquiries was and still is – What was the first wakeup call? (I later learned that it was “Hello Dolly” sent during Gemini 6). So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters. The Space Shuttle portion of the Chronology proved to be the most challenging since the Johnson Space Center Audio Control Room Recorder Log began with STS-80. In 2005, I was able to visit JSC Public Affairs and make copies from their query books to fill in the gap. Still there were Space Shuttle wakeup calls, even entire missions, that remained elusive. The other sources that I used are listed at the end of this PDF.
