Nowak, 46, must also perform 50 hours of community service and have no contact with the victim in the case, former Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman.

She must also send Shipman a letter of apology within 10 days, "a sincere letter of apology, not one of these vanilla things that I see from other defendants," Lubet told Nowak. "It's been almost three years since the events took place that caused this nightmare for Ms. Shipman, and you are 100 percent responsible."

Is this a setup? She can't contact her but she has to write her a letter?

it will go through her lawyer and through the court, not directly

So i'm wondering why a NASA astronaut went nuts.
10+ yrs later, i cant find an analysis or even an explanation.
the wiki also doesnt provide an explanation for her psycho actions.

Any ideas?

I don't think they expected the story to launch into the associated press like it did. Nor did they realize the gravity of the situation. Relationships are difficult enough, but when you consider the space between Orlando and Houston, they should have been more grounded in their expectations.

Would I drive that far non-stop from Houston to Orlando for a lover??....Depends.

Imagine getting an amber alert on your phone at 2am. "Abductor is suspected to be on way to Mars via SpaceX flight".
