Lust In Space Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Astronauts get vigorous training in the field math,
Lisa Nowak put her training in the field of geometry,
Knowing her reputation was about is a baby being thrown out with the water in bath.
She had planned on riding the shuttle in space,
But preferred to ride Bill Oefelein instead,
Houston we got problem here,
Colleen Shipman was the person that made Lisa see red.
Nowak, a mother of three,
Was on verge on insanity,
When she made the trip from Houston to Orlando by car,
Stopping to get a nights rest and only to fill up her tank,
Dressed in up US taxpayers depends,
She had to go very far,
If she had pee or poop then she would not make a mess,
Hell hath no fury like a woman--astronaut scorned,
Does not compute, Will Robinson, DANGER,
It was Bill Oefelein, not Colleen Shipman,
-she would have her lust for him be reborn.
The police later caught Nowak after she accosted Shipman in the parking lot,
Her and Shipman were caught on surveillance video, apparently Nowak forgot,
The police found a potpourri of personal weapons that were non-NASA issuance,
Perhaps Nowak place the items on her person for insurance.

“They also found a wig and a plastic bag containing a carbon dioxide-powered BB pistol in a nearby trash can, …..Inside a bag Nowak was carrying, the officer found a tan trench coat, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade,3 to 4 feet of rubber tubing, several large plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash, the report said.”

Nowak was fired by NASA, Olefelein was reassigned to non-NASA work,
This could’ve happened in the Cold War,
-when we where in competition with the USSR to conquer the moon race.
Indeed Irwin Allen would create another TV series entitled “Lust in Space”.
