In July 2019, Worden alleged that her estranged spouse, astronaut Anne McClain, had guessed her password and illegally accessed her bank account while deployed to the International Space Station.

Despite an internal investigation that exonerated McClain, Worden continued to promote the false claims to news outlets and hired a media consultant to amplify them. She also publicly released her former spouse’s personal information.

Huh, I wonder why there were problems in that marriage?

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

Despite making up only 12% of the astronauts, women have committed 100% of the space crime.

That's just facts!

...women have been accused and aquitted of 100% of the space crime.

Women get weird around astronauts. Remember the one who put on a diaper to make a frantic 12 hour drive to Florida to murder her romantic rival?

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

You might be right on this space law, but let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?

It was her estranged spouse though. The astronaut didn't commit the crime. I get that you are joking.

Well now we're getting into the sticky territory of space crime versus earth crime.

Earth is in space, so technically...

What did I say? It's sticky.

Not space crime, the actual criminal was on earth, she tried to frame the astronaut.

But given SpaceX and Amazon whatever is called, km sure there has been plenty of crime already.

100% of exonerated space criminals are lesbians.
