CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Astronaut Lisa Nowak was fired from NASA on Wednesday, a month after she was charged with trying to kidnap a woman she regarded as her romantic rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot.
The space shuttle pilot who was the object of Nowak's affections, Navy Cmdr. Bill Oefelein, remains on active duty while working for NASA. Robertson said she could not speculate whether his status is under review.
It was the first time NASA has publicly fired an astronaut, according to space historian Roger Launius of the Smithsonian Institution. She is also the first active astronaut to be charged with a felony, he said.
Nowak didn't respond to a call to her Houston home seeking comment, and a spokeswoman for her attorney said she didn't have any immediate comment.
Nowak, a mother of three, is accused of confronting Colleen Shipman, the woman who had become Oefelein's girlfriend, at the Orlando airport after driving from Houston. She wore an astronaut diaper so that she would not have to stop during her 900-mile trip, authorities said.
She allegedly pepper-sprayed Shipman through a partially lowered car window. Police found a BB gun, new steel mallet, a knife and rubber tubing in Nowak's possession.
