Nowak astronaut romanta-scuffle affair: New evidence

The case of ex-spacewoman and US Navy captain Lisa Nowak grinds on. It was reported this week that her lawyers have asked that charges against her be dismissed, on the grounds that she may not in fact have done a good job of pepper-spraying a romantic adversary for the affections of a space shuttle pilot.

Nice...

I think Oefelein is a pretty cool guy. eh flies space shuttles, rises wimmin and doesn't afraid of anything.
