Women Walking In Space - Another First.

[Canary42]

Apparently two women astronauts are due to space-walk later today at the ISS. It's good to see another sexist barrier come down.

Was there ever a sexist barrier stopping woman from walking in space?

[Mamyalynne]

No.

Here is a "List of spacewalkers"

The first females name i see is Svetlana Savitskaya dated 1984

Oh dear, the sexist barrier will remain because both female astronauts want to wear the one suit.

First all-female spacewalk

ahh i see now.. all female. Not the first female.

Surely they aren't prepared to wear the same suit !
What a fashion faux pax.

they obviously never figured on two women going outside together. Someone's got to stay inside, do the cooking and wash the curtains.

Space walk cancelled because of suit size issues. I reckon one of them refused to wear it because it made her bum look big.

Is this the first outer-space wardrobe-malfunction?
