Some pretty badass women are about to make history…from outer space.
Yup, astronauts will conduct the first all-female spacewalk on March 29. This marks 35 years since Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space in 1984.
In case you don’t know what exactly a spacewalk is (we didn’t either), according to NASA, spacewalks allow astronauts to work on the outside of their spacecraft while in space, conduct science experiments and test out any new equipment. So. Cool.
They usually last between five and eight hours, but it’s currently unknown how long this spacewalk will be.
