NASA Says it Has Scheduled the First All-Female Spacewalk

Just in time for International Women's Day, NASA announced Wednesday that it will be conducting the first-ever, all-female spacewalk, CNN reports.

Astronauts Christina Koch and Anne McClain will exit the International Space Station on March 29, 35 years after the first woman performed a spacewalk. They'll be guided from the ground by flight director Mary Lawrence, and flight controllers Jackie Kagey and Kristen Facciol, according to CNN.
