It sounds like a bad made for TV movie, but you know that script writers couldn't make this stuff up. A famous astronaut drives for 1000 miles wearing NASA-issue adult nappies so's not stop for loo breaks, disguised in a wig, sunglasses and trenchcoat, and then tries to kidnap and plans to kill another woman who's a rival for the affections of another astronaut who, by the loonette's own admission, she ain't even been romantically involved with. Pepper-spray wielding astronaut lady is busted packing, according to the article, an air rifle, a steel mallet, rubber tubing, dustbin bags, black gloves and a knife. I, too, wonder what the rubber tubing was for.

I also wonder whether, deep in the bowels of NASA, someone's starting to wonder if some extra-terrestrial spores settled into this aunty's noggin and turned her brains to mush. Presumably somebody that nuts couldn't have gotten onto the Space Shuttle in the first place, could they?
