NASA cancels its first outing in the all-female space due to the shortage of combinations

The first outing in the all-female space will not take place in March as planned, according to NASA.

Christina Koch, a NC State graduate, and fellow astronaut Anne McClain were supposed to make a space excursion to the International Space Station on March 29th. It would have been the very first outing in the space with only women.

However, NASA said that a shortage of space suits of the correct size had forced the agency to change its plans. McClain and Koch will continue to go out into space, but not together.

On March 22, McClain became the 13th woman to walk in space. Koch posted on Twitter showing the team preparing for this release in the space.

After his first outing in space, McClain learned that the medium sized bust suited him best. It's the same size as Koch prefers. NASA has stated that only one support is available at the moment.

Being in space can have a different impact on the body of astronauts. For McClain, she said she had grown two centimeters since her exit from Earth, which may have resulted in this significant conflict.

NASA cited space suit sizes as the reason for changes to the space exit allocations.

Koch will perform the space release on March 29th with astronaut Nick Hague. This mission will make Koch the 14th woman to make an exit in the space.

At least during this mission, McClain and Koch will not become the first couple to perform in the all-female space.
