Doesn’t seem as if this event was planned, but maybe from coincidence that they’ll be together, but nonetheless, it will be somewhat of historic moment as this has never happened before and NASA is highlighting it.
On Friday, Oct. 18, @astro_christina and @astro_jessica will venture outside @Space_Station for a spacewalk, the first to be performed by two women. A preview of tomorrow’s event and a look at more history-making women in space: https://t.co/ahm7CCXEs4 pic.twitter.com/mJCcmtB7m7
