Former astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak was well-trained for this mission – a cross-country expedition on which she chose to wear adult diapers in order to avoid having to make bathroom breaks. Whether she also consumed food on the trip from little packets I’m not sure. Nowak’s (alleged) goal: to make the drive from Houston to the Orlando airport in time to accost romantic rival Colleen Shipman, an Air Force captain who was flying back to Orlando after seeing the third leg of this cosmic love triangle, Bill Oefelein.

Equipped with a knife, pellet pistol, can of pepper spray, steel mallet and 4 feet of rubber tubing, one can only speculate that Nowak had more in mind than just a discussion. And there was no International Space Station in need of repair anywhere near the airport.
