I can understand why, she was an overachiever, never really failed at anything and she viewed herself as a high quality woman. Her marriage was falling apart from being away from her husband and she found a new guy "on her level", and tried to upgrade. Astronaut guy basically rejected her after having his fun and she couldn't accept her replaced her with a younger woman. I mean, duh! What did you think Lisa?

They could have a mental illness show up that they've never had before, and definitely didn't have during the screening process. Or certain stresses that build up and cause a mental breakdown.

I live in Annapolis and have met and talked to alot of those kids. The USNA degrees are "lite" versions of equivalent degrees offered in normal colleges, with a healthy side of Phys Ed. The kids are mostly connected as admission is related to getting sponsored by a state senator. As a group, they have the typical "yes sir, no sir" military persona and a need to be part of something bigger than themselves. No creatives in that group, just "work hard play hard" sons and daughters of narcissists. They are set for life.

Nowak also trained with Tammie Jo Shults, who went on to commercial aviation with Southwest Airlines and became famous after she and her first officer on that set of flights, Darren Ellisor, landed their 737 after an engine blew out. In rather stark contrast to Nowak, Shults volunteers and helps a lot of people. Edit: as the replies have reminded me, I seem to have forgotten about the part where a passenger was halfway out the window, requiring truncation of the emergency procedures for an engine out event. Or maybe I hoped people were capable of using Google if they didn't understand what the hell I was talking about. Gods forbid people actually do a little research before saying things. I know, it would take precious seconds out of our lives, but really, I shouldn't have to regurgitate all the information about an event every time I talk about it.

@@doomsday9973 I see you want the essay? Excellent. See below for TLDR. Sorry for the late reply, I don't have notifications for comments turned on, for a reason. Also sorry if I seem like I'm in a bad mood, I'm sore and perpetually tired and the letters on the screen are blurring together, but I'm making a valiant attempt to give you the benefit of the doubt. I also won't make you sit through my favorite landings but suffice it to say losing a single engine isn't always the nonevent it's designed to be (UAL232 and UAL1175 are two wonderful examples). Lo and behold, I kinda forgot the part of this story where one of the passengers was half out of the window. A fan blade out event occurred, causing cowling to fly off the engine with the same force as if the blade had penetrated the cowling, striking the fuselage. This caused a window to pop out, blowing the poor lady seated next to it halfway out in a rapid decompression. Which actually meant the crew had three emergencies on their hands, which is more impressive, and I guess you can blame me for assuming people would at least try and find out what I'm talking about if they didn't know. I don't recall implying Captain Shults and First Officer Ellisor pulled of a nigh-unsurvivable maneuver from a rather insulting movie though. Flight was based very loosely off Alaska 261, which lost a critical component and spiraled out of control into the ocean, killing everyone on board. The families of those killed in that flight were upset at how certain people were portrayed and honestly, they're right to be upset. There are better movies about flights, though I'm not sure I'd consider Sully (2016) to be one, not completely, as it's really more about the trauma of the landing than the event itself. But yeah, Captain Shults flew Southwest 1380, if you remember that one. I highly recommend reading the full CVR for SWA1380 because the efficiency of the crew is something to behold. The amazing factor with SWA1380 isn't so much the single engine as it is the effective and efficient use of CRM in the face of multiple emergencies. Can't land a plane if you're fighting with your crewmembers. Actually, crew disagreeing on how to fly their plane has led to many accidents. Or everyone was working the problem instead of, you know, actually flying the damn bird. Go ahead and fact check me on all this. Do it, you won't. TLDR; This was SWA1380, the flight with the lady hanging out of the window; Flight is an awful movie and its creators have no souls, the interesting part is the CRM.

[@orionexplorer]

I know this might sound crazy, but I followed NASA manned missions very closely back then, I would get the Flight Data Files from JSC through the FOIA office, would print them up and follow the mission by watch on NASA TV and the flight documents that I had. The point to that is to show how closely I followed those last shuttle missions. I saw Lisa Nowak on CAPCOM during a lot of those flights. When she got picked for a flight on STS-121 I was happy for her since she had been on CAPCOM so much. Being on CAPCOM is usually the step before being picked for a flight. When Nowak attacked Shipman I was really upset and wondered why she did that, then the e-mails were released and it was "what were you thinking."
