I might be missing something here, but what part of Lisa Nowak story is really worth making a movie out of.

Desperation for good ideas. Just desperation.

None of it, actually. And I don’t really care for the author’s premise that wearing a diaper is a freak show worthy of a movie.

I'm pretty sure that becoming an astronaut and going to space as a robotics specialist is pretty amazing and only a very few of us humans have accomplished feats such as these.  The diaper only stands out to people like us, and people looking to be sensationalized about tabloid news.

This woman suffered an emotional break, people focused on the diaper when really it's a story about great human feats, a chaotic love triangle and an explosive finale.  Sounds like a good story that got covered up by tabloid news about "crazy diaper wearing astronauts".

I am 95% sure this article is just a joke or light reading feel good kind of stuff. If you look at the author's other works, that would appear to be so. No need to overreact.

That's actually truer to the actual course of events, because Lisa Nowak didn't wear a diaper either.

People assume that because astronauts wear pull-ups during launch, they must be really high-tech, but they were cheap in comparison to premium diapers. They were only manufactured by one company, and when they were discontinued, NASA bought nearly all the stock. Why steal from rationed government stock (they actually keep count of how many remain,) instead of getting a comparable product from a grocery store?

The reality is, she had a messy car, and the cop pulled her over, saw a bag of her kids' baby pull-ups,  in her station wagon, and asked "What are those for?" She sarcastically answered that she didn't want to make pit-stops. They were toddler-sized and she gave a sarcastic answer, but the cop wasn't too sharp, and missed the insult.
