Honestly I first read about this on Instagram and I thought it was a joke. NASA recently cancelled it's first all-women space walk as they claim there will not be enough spacesuits mad to fit women astronauts in time. Having all all-women space walk would be inspiring to young girls who feel discouraged about going into the science field, and hearing that this historic event is cancelled for such a small obstacle is incredibly disappointing. Thinking about all of the incredible and difficult things NASA has done, it is hard for me to believe that the issue of "not enough space suits" is the real cause of cancellation. I hope to soon see an all female spacewalk, and hopefully all of the female astronauts will be provided with the proper equipment needed to do their jobs.
