The astronaut crime that shocked the world

Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lot - allegedly using diapers on the trip so she wouldn't have to stop. Nowak had been dating astronaut William "Billy" Oefelein when she learned that Oefelein was seeing a new girlfriend - US 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 Nowak's criminal case, Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowak's 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 Nowak's psychiatric diagnosis, taking a serious look at how someone so accomplished could spiral into mental illness to the point of possible attempted murder.

Nothing new here if you followed the story in the news, except maybe some of the testimony from the military hearing. Underscores how Nowak really evaded justice. if I were Colleen Shipman, I'd be passed, but I guess living well is the best revenge.

Seemed a bit long and drawn out to me I wasn't able to finish this one. Part of this was good and other parts I found to be boring.

Chapter 1 is good. After that, not so good. Repetitious. Ending is disappointing. Too slow.

Disappointing!
