McClain, the first transgressor in space?

Worden, which is a separate year from McClain and is based in Kansas, USA, he suspected that his ex-wife was following his financial movements closely he therefore asked his bank which computers had accessed his account: among the many detected, he had one that belonged to NASA's space agency.

McClain acknowledged by his lawyer that entered the Worden account when he was in the ISS because he still has common financial interests with his ex-wife, but the former intelligence officer did not see him the same way.

Instead, Worden filed a lawsuit against McClain in front of the Federal Trade Commission and his family filed another complaint with NASA's Inspector General's office for identity theft and improper access to private records of financial activities.

The woman came back to Earth and found that her actions did not go unnoticed.

"I was horrified that she could go that far – I knew it was not okay," said Worden after laying the charge.

McClain's lawyer, Rusty Hardim, said that the astronaut had opened her ex's bank account to make sure she had enough funds to pay the personal bills, as he did all the time that his relationship lasted.

After six months in space, the decorated McClain returned to Earth to face adversity, suspending her dream of being part of the first mission to take a walk in the space reserved for women.
