They investigate whether one of the NASA astronauts has committed a crime from the ISS by accessing her partner's bank account

The first crime committed outside of our planet is being investigated and that is that a NASA astronaut would have accessed the bank account of her partner without permission.

NASA is mostly known for its research and space missions. This American agency is the most important in the world and the first to reach our satellite, the Moon. Well, there has been such an anomalous event within NASA, which is the first time it has happened. The US special agency is investigating whether one of its astronauts has accessed his partner's bank account.

Obviously it is a job for the competent police, but at the moment there is no police agency investigating crimes committed from the International Space Station. And it is that as has been known, the American astronaut Anne McClain would have accessed her partner's account from space. So we are facing the first possible extraterrestrial crime in history.

NASA investigates if one of its astronauts has committed a crime from the ISS

McClain is currently back on Earth. Your lawyer, who has spoken to the New York Time, says that he only accessed the account to verify that everything was correct. He emphasizes that if he accessed his partner's account, it was to see that his family's finances were good. She claims that she just wanted to verify that there was money to pay the bills and take care of her son.

The lawyer adds that "she strongly denies that she did anything wrong", adding that she was "fully cooperating"

Summer Worden, McClain's partner and former Air Force intelligence officer in Kansas says otherwise. Worden reportedly filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and another with NASA's Office of the Inspector General. He accuses his partner of identity theft to access his bank account.

Worden has said that: “I am quite horrified that she went so far. I knew it wasn't right "

Even if you are in space, the laws of each country apply to their respective astronauts. Russians must abide by the laws of Russia, Americans those of the United States, the Japanese those of Japan, and so on.
