CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The world’s first female spacewalking team is making history high above Earth.
NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, a Caribou native, worked outside the International Space Station on Friday, the first time in a half-century of spacewalking that a woman floated out with a male crew mate.
They replaced a broken part of the station’s power grid.
America’s first female spacewalker, Kathy Sullivan, says it’s good to finally have enough women in the astronaut corps for this to happen.
