NASA Astronauts Make History With First All-Female Spacewalk

NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir made history with the first all-female spacewalk, replacing a faulty battery unit on the International Space Station. This event marked a significant milestone, as previous plans for an all-female spacewalk were altered due to spacesuit availability, leading to social media backlash. The spacewalk highlights the underrepresentation of women in such missions, with only 14 women having participated in over 200 spacewalks, always accompanied by men.
