NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will make 'HERstory' with the first all-female spacewalk.
U.S. astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will step outside the International Space Station Friday morning, the first time in history that two women have done a spacewalk together.
The remaining four astronauts aboard the International Space Station, all men, will remain inside while Koch and Meir complete their work. The astronauts were asked in an interview from space earlier this month about whether they mind having their accomplishments qualified by their gender. "There are a lot of people that derive motivation from inspiring stories from people that look like them and I think it’s an important aspect of the story to tell," she said.
Koch and another astronaut, Anne McClain, were supposed to make the first all-women spacewalk back in March.
