US Makes History With First All-Female Spacewalk
US astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir on Friday became the first all-female pairing to carry out a spacewalk — a historic milestone as NASA prepares to send the first woman to the Moon.
The mission was originally planned for earlier this year but had to be aborted due to a lack of properly fitting spacesuits, leading to allegations of sexism.
“Christina, you may egress the airlock,” spacecraft communicator Stephanie Wilson said as the pair set out to replace a power controller on the International Space Station at 1138 GMT.
They began their mission with standard safety checks on their suits and tethers, before making their way to the repair site on the station’s port side, as the sunlit Earth came into view.
In a call to reporters a few minutes earlier, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine emphasized the symbolic significance of the day.
“We want to make sure that space is available to all people, and this is another milestone in that evolution,” he said.
