FWIW, she was cleared and her ex-wife charged with making false statements.
This shouldn’t be omitted from the meme. Astronauts are some of the most level-minded people in this world, given the risks they face every moment.
I don’t think jealousy or insecurity would be a common occurrence given how busy they are.
Actually, there was a high profile and notorious case of a female NASA astronaut and Naval officer named Lisa Nowak, who was placed on trail and convicted of felony burglary and misdemeanor assault charges. This all stemmed from an affair she was having with a fellow astronaut named Bill Oefelein, who both of them were married to different people at the time.
When Bill decided to call the affair off and started to see another woman, an Air Force Captain named Colleen Shipman. Lisa had an emotional breakdown and after her own marriage had failed. Planned on possibly kidnapping Colleen. She was eventually arrested at Orlando International Airport that she had followed Colleen to. Besides the criminal convictions listed above, she was dismissed from NASA and demoted in rank and forcibly retired from the Navy.
I don’t know man, this seems like an obvious case of alien body snatching. They just never learned to act like regular humans.
Don't forget about the part where she wore a diaper while driving so she wouldn't have to make any pit stops.

There are exceptions to the whole level minded thing.
I know this is the poop drive without even opening the link.
Among other things.
Putting those diapers to good use
Well she says she did not use them (I guess just shitting in place)
"She drove her husband's car 900 miles (1,400 km) from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, to confront Shipman. Early police reports stated that she wore Maximum Absorbency Garments during the trip, but she later denied this."
From Wikipedia, but it must be noted the trip was made by herself in such a short time that poop had to happen.
Yeah but what the hell am I supposed to do woth this novel drsft Lesbian Space Criminal Lovers now?
Why was I not told sooner the story was a lie???
"lesbians are accused in 100% of space crimes" is a much less fun statistic.
Lesbians continue to flaunt their spotless space criminal record
i dont want to have to see them not do crimes, please do that in your own room

Your Honor, with all due respect, my client can only be put on trial by a space judge and a jury of her space peers
A jury of astronauts would be kind of fun if it were possible for them not to know each other already, but I don't think that's possible with the current number of astronauts
Is ISS network traffic monitored? Because if it is, this was a really dumb crime.
To my understanding, she wasn't determined to have actually committed it, just was accused
Yup:
The claims were later found to be false, and McClain was cleared.[28] On April 7, 2020, Worden was indicted on two charges of making false statements.
Please tell me this entire thing wasn't an elaborate add for NordVPN.
It's probably fully recorded. Everything in and out.
That way if there's a mishap it's possible to go back and reconstruct the entire sequence or to replay high fidelity simulations of the network traffic at the equipment to reproduce problems.
Probably safe to assume that it is.
Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.
Straight female astronaut drove 900 miles to confront her rival.

Yeah but she wasn't in space just had a space diaper.
Distinction without a difference. If you're wearing the space diaper you're basically experiencing everything there is to experience about space.
There's also an astronaut currently in jail for, I think, manslaughter? Killed someone while drunk driving? Question mark?
Man, if you get run over by a rocket, even if the drivwr is drunk, I feel like its your own damn fault. Those suckers are huge.
I thought some of the Apollo astronauts were illegally enriching themselves by selling a service where they would take people's stuff to the moon in their private gear allowance, and then give it back.
The Apollo 15 crew got in trouble for something like that, postage stamps I think.
Smuggling moon rocks back to Earth to be sold on the black market is also pretty lucrative iirc.
Didn't someone already commit theft in space?
Yeah, she stole my heart
username checks out
smash the patriachy by being the first criminal in space.

Is space international waters? Does anything go?
Ships in intl waters are still governed by the laws of their flag state. I don't see why this wouldn't also apply to the ISS as a US-flagged vessel
Edit: I assume the modules are flagged differently. I imagine Zvezda and the Soyuz's are flagged Russian, etc. or maybe the ISS is jointly flagged under US and Russian laws at the same time. Or the laws of the citizens home country is applied individually or something.
Are you saying that the simpsons lied to me?
Lesbians... Those bitches be (statistically) crazy
