According to NPR, the historic all-female spacewalk originally scheduled for this Friday will not go forward for wardrobe reasons — or, more precisely, because NASA could not supply one of the lady astronauts with a medium-sized spacesuit. A male astronaut will take her place instead, making this a small step back for women.
As Women’s History Month kicked off, feminists were ecstatic over news that astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch would be partaking in a historic spacewalk on the International Space Station as part of Expedition 59. Unfortunately, astronaut Ann McClain will no longer be able to participate after recently discovering her inability to maneuver properly in the large-sized spacesuit.
