"Objects launched into space are subject to their nation of belonging, including people."
The US will happily prosecute you for going to Thailand to sleep with underage prostitutes. They'd be happy to do the same here, especially as you're probably launching from and landing on their territory anyways.
Same rules would apply I expect.
