Remember the astronut -- er-- astronaut Lisa Nowak who drove across the country in a diaper?
Well, she got off for attacking the woman she considered her romantic rival with probation. The judge also made her face Colleen Shipman and apologize to her.
Nowak said:
"I'm sincerely sorry for causing fear and misunderstanding, and all the public exposure you have suffered," she told Shipman.
Sure.
If you forgot the details of this case, here's a quick rundown:
Nowak was having some sort of relationship with astronaut William Oefelein, despite the fact that she was married.
Oefelein and Shipman got together. Nowak found out and went ape shit. Drove from Houston to Orlando, pepper sprayed Shipman and tried to kidnap her.
Shipman said:
I knew it in my heart that when Lisa Nowak attacked me, she was going to kill me," Colleen Shipman told Circuit Court Judge Marc L. Lubet at Nowak's sentencing. "It was in her eyes: limitless, blood-chilling expression of limitless rage."
Nowak should be in jail for being stupid. You were married and having an affair--how can you be angry because your side piece was getting some too?
Shipman and Oefelein have moved to Alaska -- really? -- to settle down. Talk about a culture shock, from no snow to snow all the time. Nowak set women back with her crazy actions. You can't go after the other woman. If she really wanted to make a point, she would've maced Oefelein's ass.
Watch her apology here.
But this video sums Lisa Nowak up perfectly:
