Suiting up: All-female spacewalk cancelled

Nasa astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch were about to make history tomorrow by becoming the first pair of female astronauts to conduct a spacewalk together outside the International Space Station.

But, as they prepared to boldly go where no female duo had gone before, it emerged there was only one spacesuit to fit either of them. The others were man-sized which means that male astronaut Nick Hague will go in McClain’s place.
