US astronauts Christina Koch and Anne McClain were meant to go outside their spaceship on the first ever ‘all women’ spacewalk on Friday, the mission was cancelled as the space agency realized it does not have two women-size space-suits, the Guardian reported.
McClain will be replaced by a male astronaut who will join Koch on the mission outside the International Space station. The goal of the mission is to replace batteries.The first Jewish woman in space was the late Judith Resnik, she perished in the 1986 Challenger disaster.Two other known Jewish women served as astronauts, Marsha Ivins and Ellen S. Baker, both Jewish-Americans.
