'I’m frustrated that I feel like I’m lying to children when I tell little girls they can grow up to be astronauts.'
I understand why NASA scrubbed the first all-women spacewalk when one of the astronauts realized she needed a smaller spacesuit, but I’m still frustrated that we can’t safely equip two women astronauts at the same time.
But I’m frustrated that in over fifty years of spacewalks, we still aren’t seeing just two women outside a space station or spacecraft at the same time. I’m frustrated that the same problems I have here on Earth with finding appropriately-sized safety gear during fieldwork is just as much of a problem in space. I’m frustrated that so many of my women colleagues have to bring their own survival suits for doing work in the northern ocean if they don’t want to risk freezing from hypothermia if catastrophe strikes.
