Twitter Reacts As NASA Cancels All-Woman Spacewalk Over Spacesuits

“Because we can put a man on the moon, but we can’t put a woman in a spacesuit?” wrote one Twitter user.

International space agency NASA’s plans for an all-woman spacewalk hit a dead end because of a wardrobe crisis of sorts – the agency doesn’t have enough spacesuits that fit the women astronauts.

The two astronauts who were scheduled to walk in space – Anne C McClain and Christina H Koch – would both need to wear a medium-size torso component. But, unfortunately, only one is readily available at the International Space Station.

Until now, all the 214 spacewalks that the space station has had – since it was assembled in 1998 – saw only all-male or mixed male-female teams.
