The last couple of months just reminded me of how people can just defy your expectations. I always go back to the story of disgraced astronaut Lisa Nowak. She was a robotics mission specialist for NASA in the late 90's. She was incredibly talented, both having become a Navy Captain and receiving a degree in aeronautical engineering by the time she joined NASA. However, during her career, she was having an affair with fellow astronaut William Oefelein. However, Oefelein had to break off their relationship because he was romantically involved with Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. In response, Nowak drove 900 miles from Houston to Florida just to assault Shipman. She literally went up to Colleen in a parking lot, and tried to pepper spray her after driving almost 1000 miles. She was later arrested facing charges of kidnapping. After hearing that story very few things surprise me anymore....
