Well, it appears that we're living in the future now, as the first space crime ever may have just been committed. 

Astronaut Anne McClain has found herself in hot water after being accused of identity theft from her estranged wife Summer Worden. 

Sounds like a fairly regular crime until you learn that McClain had accessed Worden's bank account from outer space, making for an unprecedented case with unclear jurisdiction. 

While the legal authorities try to sort that sh*t out, please enjoy the following Twitter reactions!

In space, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Space Force. These are their stories 2 25 1 more reply
