Mother Always Said

Mother always warned that you can run, but you can’t hide.  She would top this off by saying, “Wherever you go, there you are.”

You would think that holing up within the International Space Station might prove to be the exception.  Not a chance.  An astronaut who lived there for six months was accused of committing the very first space crime.

Anne McClain had accessed her estranged spouse’s bank account via a NASA computer, claiming that this was necessary for “due diligence in monitoring their entangled finances.”  Summer Worden instead claimed that McClain “had committed identity theft.”

What tangled webs we tend to weave, even from heights of 250-plus miles!
