In a twist that could only happen in a sci-fi comedy, NASA is probing allegations of an astronaut accessing her estranged spouse’s bank account while stationed on the International Space Station, potentially marking the universe’s first-ever space crime.
Astronaut Anne McClain and her ex, Summer Worden, are at the center of this cosmic caper. Amid a custody battle for Worden’s son, she accused McClain of meddling with her finances from the ISS. McClain, however, insisted it was just a celestial checkup for their family’s finances.
Worden’s suspicions took off when she noticed McClain’s intimate knowledge of her spending habits and traced digital trails back to NASA. She reported the incident to the Federal Trade Commission, alleging bank breach and identity theft.
McClain defended herself on Twitter, blaming it on their messy separation gone intergalactic. Worden, in an interview with KPRC, lamented her loss of privacy in the midst of this space saga.
NASA’s Inspector General is now investigating these far-out claims, possibly marking the universe’s first space crime. It’s a divorce drama of cosmic proportions, where even the stars can’t keep their secrets.
