We all make mystakes, and love makes fools of us all. Capt. Nowak deserves a chance to continue to serve her country and move on in her life.
The former astronaut fired by NASA after she was charged with trying to kidnap a romantic rival will develop flight lesson plans as part of her new military assignment.
Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak will work on developing curriculum and training programs when she joins the staff of the Chief of Naval Air Training Command in Corpus Christi next month, said a Navy spokesman, Lt. Sean Robertson.
She was originally expected to report for work this week, but Robertson said Nowak will start her new job in April.
I met her personally at the Wired NextFest last October. She struck me as a very nice, if tiny, person. (Then again, I’m 6’2″.) I sincerely hope she can get over this and get on with her life. Being in the unrelenting eye of the media beast can destroy the best of us.
Podestra, How much punishment do you suggest?
Do you think she should be up for attempted murder charges?
Do you think her intent was to murder or just razzle her victim?
Given her contributions to society and no prior history of crime I am willing to give her the benifit of the doubt. I feel society will be much better off if she continues working for the navy instead of being locked away in a federal pen. After everything she has been thru I’m sure she learned her lesson.
FYI, The Lisa Nowak is 5’7″ tall and was sitting when the above picture was taken. Sometimes a simple detail like this can change a persons perception.
Gary Coleman is tiny he came up to my belly button.
