Background: "Fifty years ago, generations were inspired when humans made a giant leap and walked on the moon. Today, NASA is committed to returning to the moon and beyond!" [1] This was done by an all male team of astronauts. Since then, women have been equally interested in aerospace science, but not equally represented. ON October 18, 2019, Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir made history when they successfully completed the world's first ever all female space walk.
