Ham Radio astronaut in murder plot chargeA US astronaut accused of attacking a woman she considered competition for the affection of a shuttle pilot has been charged with attempted murder. Earlier a Florida court had ordered that 43 year-old Navy Capt Lisa Nowak, KC5ZTB, who was facing charges of attempted kidnapping and battery, could be freed on bail. However, the introduction of the more serious charge that she intended to murder Colleen Shipman reverses that. A mother of three, Capt Nowak flew on the space shuttle Discovery last July.
The man at the centre of the love triangle was said to be Navy Cmdr William Oefelein, who was a pilot on the Discovery's mission to the space station in December. Though he and Capt Nowak never flew on the same mission, they did train together. For more on this story, read this BBC
