Opinion: If space is the future, that future needs to include everyone

The spacewalk was a coincidence in the first place. Last year, a Soyuz spacecraft malfunctioned during launch, which shifted the staffing schedule on the International Space Station, causing astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch to be stationed there at the same time. There are two medium hard upper torsos for the EMUs on the station, but because the only people taking spacewalks in the past year have been men using the large and extra-large suits, the other medium hard upper torso isn’t prepared for use. That procedure takes hours of effort with no margin for corner-cutting. There are only six people on the station, and their time is tightly scheduled.
When NASA does design logistics or equipment specifically for women, the results can be off-kilter — or revealing.
