I agree. Such a huge oversight. And imagine have trained for and being selected for an historic mission and then being scrubbed because they don’t have a suit that fits you! Talk about a sexist group of planners …
What I can’t understand is why when someone is chosen to train as an astronaut they are immediately fitted out with their own suit, seems the logical thing to do to me
between ‘are and ‘immediately ‘ insert not!
Too mundane, I guess. Spacesuits aren’t nearly as glamorous as trying to figure out how to get to Mars. It would be laughable if not so infuriating. And how do you make it up to the woman whose flight was scrubbed because of it?
There has to be more to this story.
All I’ve seen so far was it was supposed to be an historic all-female crew, but they only had suits to fit one of them. That’s pathetic.
If there’s more to the story, I’m waiting to hear it …
When I heard this, I couldn’t believe it! Don’t know if I’d trust going up into space with NASA if they couldn’t put this on an early checklist.

Oh yes….so unfair to her
They’d better have a suit being made for her right now and she’d better be on the next mission.
When something is this UNBELIEVABLE, odds are that it isn’t true.
Sorry to say it’s true.
Just one example, this one from NPR: NASA Scraps First All-Female Spacewalk For Want Of A Medium-Size Spacesuit
I don’t believe it.
Man, you really are a skeptic, aren’t you?

Same thing where government is concerned.
