Robert Kirby: Space crime? Call in the cosmic cops.

It was bound to happen. Sooner or later someone was going to commit a crime in outer space.

Was it monster-ism? Treasonous behavior with aliens? Nonconsensual sex with another life form?

Nope. Turns out the first crime in space may just be a boring domestic dispute. I didn’t know it was possible to fight with your spouse or ex-spouse from 175 miles above Earth, but it is.

According to a report by The New York Times, astronaut Anne McClain improperly accessed the bank account of her estranged spouse, Summer Worden, while the former was aboard the International Space Station.
