What else would you expect? Sure wasn't the original sin perpetrated by a woman.

There shall be no more of that misbehaving, Fedor^ is on his way up, to cut out the messing about either hacking, or fist? crimes.
The ^Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, (humanoid) robot, is the first ever sent to space by Russia.


Then again if it can't even dock on 1st attempt, the Terminator may well need switching off, then on again a couple of times - before directing his steely eye glare at Anne McClain and her misdemeanors.

First it was the Nakatomi building, then she was on a plane, now accessing his account from Space.


This woman has no respect for her husband whatsoever. Just as well shes on her way back as there isn't an elevator shaft long enough to get him out there.

(Edit, these jokes probably don't make sense anymore seeing as OP has corrected the thread title. It used to say "the fist crime in space" which some of us who have never grown up found a bit amusing)

NASA is probing the case of an astronaut who was accused of accessing her estranged wife's bank account while on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station.

Veteran astronaut and US Army lieutenant colonel Anne McClain was accused of improperly gaining access to Summer Worden's bank account on NASA computers while she was in space, according to The New York Times.

The sexism is rife in this thread.
I'm just glad it wasn't a woman of colour that committed this crime or heads would have exploded.

Genuine question. What does a person of colour mean?
I know it's used in the US a lot.
Is it only for Americans who aren't white?
Or does it apply globally to all races that aren't white?

I think the Americans might actually be correct in their use of the term.

White and pink aren't real colours. If you look at a colour spectrum, you won't see them. The human eye has three different types of cone, each of which can only sense one wavelength of light (or more accurately, the wavelengths around a specific value) , and if all three are triggered (see what I did there) at the same time, the brain interprets that as "white".

This leads to some edge cases, where for example the Simpsons can be considered people of colour since yellow is a true colour.

What jurisdiction would this be in?

Despite making up roughly 49% of the population, women are responsible for 100% of the crimes in space.

from the article

There are five national or international space agencies involved in the ISS - from the US, Canada, Japan, Russia and several European countries - and a legal framework sets out that national law applies to any people and possessions in space.
So if a Canadian national were to commit a crime in space, they would be subject to Canadian law, and a Russian citizen to Russian law.

going by that US law would have jurisdiction.

What if a Canadian stole the Russians lunch money? Or there was a homicide

Oh the Russians won’t like that. Or whomever the home country is of the victim.

Still not as bonkers a tale as the female astronaut who committed a crime here on earth. Have a read of this:

What on earth are you wittering on about? What wavelength is brown again? No human skin tone is a pure colour.

I wasn't entirely serious - I had though maybe bringing the Simpsons into it indicated that.
