Star Crossed: The Story of Astronaut Lisa Nowak
The astronaut crime that shocked the worldStar Crossed transports readers to the moment the news broke that one of Americas heroes, an astronaut who had flown aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery just months before, had been arrested for a very bizarre crime. Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lotallegedly using diapers on the trip so she wouldnt have to stop. Nowak had been dating astronaut William Billy Oefelein when she learned that Oefelein was seeing a new girlfriendU.S. Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. The astronaut love triangle scandal quickly made headlines. The world watched as Nowak was dismissed from NASA, pleaded guilty to a felony, and received an other than honorable military discharge. An award-winning investigative reporter who covered Nowaks criminal case, Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowaks childhood, her rigorous training, and her mission to space. Moore ventures inside the mind of the detective who studied the actions Nowak took that fateful February night. She includes never-before-told details of Nowaks psychiatric diagnosis, taking a serious look at how someone so accomplished could spiral into mental illness to the point of possible attempted murder. This book spotlights the often-overlooked psychological health of astronauts, exploring how they are cared for by NASA doctors and what changes have been made in recent years to support space travelers on long-term missions. Expertly told, Moores story is a riveting journey inside the high-pressure world of one of Americas most elite agencies and the life of one beleaguered astronaut.
