What is this "wearing a diaper so she doesn't have to stop in the 12-
hr drive" thing? Does she have a long range tank in her car? :-P

That's what I was wondering too, but then, I'm not smart enough to be a
astronaut. I'm now trying to figure out the Attempted Murder charge... BB
gun? 4" knife? Steel mallet? pepper spray? or did she try it in the
parking garage with the rubber hose and $600 cash? NASA version of CLUE?

I was thinking the same thing. She probably needed one maybe two stops
for gas and if she used a full-service station, she could make a
bathroom break before the tank was full. I suspect that she just likes
wearing diapers.

or more simply a tank that has a longer 'range' than her bladder. Not
uncommon. Might have optimized away a few additional stops...

Wearing diapers is SOP for Shuttle launches, since they may end up lying on
their seats for four hours or more before the launch either goes or gets
scrubbed. Men have the option of wearing a condom/collection bag setup, but
some don't.

Mind you, the Shuttle goes farther between rest stops.....

She was likely trying to limit her exposure to potential witnesses. If
she stopped at a rest stop and went inside, she might be recognized by
someone or picked up on a security camera. This woman was carrying cash
for all her purchases and even checked into a motel using cash. I have
no doubt she was going to kill the victim and make a run back to Houston
leaving no traces of her trip.

She's an engineer!

Maybe she hooked up ferry tanks?

I always used to park in "Satellite Parking" at BWI. I told people
my car was between explorer and sputnik.

Guns don't kill. Crazed female astronauts do. Or at least try.

NASA may want to rethink their psychological testing.
