The Dawn of Space Crime

[Chance]

This isn't quite as exciting as throwing someone out of an airlock, but it still counts. From BBC News:

Nasa is reported to be investigating a claim that an astronaut accessed the bank account of her estranged spouse from the International Space Station, in what may be the first allegation of a crime committed in space.

Anne McClain acknowledges accessing the account from the ISS but denies any wrongdoing, the New York Times reports.

Her estranged spouse, Summer Worden, reportedly filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Ms McClain has since returned to Earth.

She may have been better off staying up there.

Nasa is reported to be investigating a claim that an astronaut accessed the bank account of her estranged spouse....

Sounds like a civil matter.

It was bound to end poorly, an Army officer and an Air Force officer...

[hufnagel]

at least Marines weren't involved. they'd be arguing for years over who gets to keep the crayons.

Does Space-Crime lead to Space-Time? Perhaps it's all relative.

Was she attempting to nuke the account from orbit?

Was she attempting to nuke the account from orbit?

Well, it is the only way to be sure.
