NASA, the US space agency, because of a lack of available spacesuits their size at the International Space Station, scrapped the historic all-women spacewalk planned for past Monday.
Actually, that's not the case-the Space Station clarified there are indeed multiple medium-sized suits aboard, but "to stay on schedule.it's safer and faster to change spacewalker assignments than reconfigure spacesuits".
The two female McClaine and Christina Kosh were supposed to make their space walk as first women space walk on March 29. There are six USA spacesuit tops on the station - or hard upper torsos, as NASA calls them - with two considered spares.
NASA tweeted Tuesday that the walk wasn't canceled for lack of female suits aboard the International Space Station, which many inferred, but that it was canceled because another suit could not be configured in time for the walk.
Then when asked if he thought LeBron James should change teams, a cheeky Pierce said before driving away: "No. In respect to Luke Walton , it should be noted that he's still the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers .
NASA astronaut Anne McClain is pictured during her first spacewalk on March 22. Andre specializes in environmental health, but writes on a variety of issues. But McClain said the decision had been made in contact with her.
Because McClain was able to train in both medium and large suits back on Earth, NASA figured that she would probably be fine wearing the large suit on her second spacewalk. If a suit is too big, an astronaut in space might feel like they're floating around inside of it, making them struggle with mobility. After a spacesuit fit check on March 4, McClain tweeted that she had grown 2 inches (5 centimeters) since she launched into space.
