An Astronaut Committed Identity Theft From the ISS . . . Could It Be the First Crime in Space?
There's a NASA astronaut named Anne McClain, who was recently up in the International Space Station on a mission.
Well . . . while she was up there, she was in the middle of a divorce from her estranged wife, Summer Worden. And Summer says Anne illegally accessed her back account from the ISS.
That would be identity theft . . . meaning this could be the first crime ever committed IN SPACE.
Anne is denying the claims.
The U.S. does have plans in place for crimes committed in space . . . it's not like international waters or something where anything goes. Anne would be facing regular criminal charges here on earth if she is charged.
