NASA reportedly investigating first allegation of crime committed in space
Astronaut Anne McClain is facing the first allegation of a crime committed in space, reports The New York Times. McClain’s estranged wife, Summer Worden, accused the astronaut of accessing her bank account while on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station.
The pair have been in the midst of a separation and custody dispute over Worden’s young son for the majority of the past year, according to The Times. Worden became suspicious when she says she discovered that McClain knew details about her spending.
Worden, a former Air Force intelligence officer, asked her bank about the locations of devices that had used her login information to recently access her account. She reportedly found that one computer network used was registered to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
