Two astronauts — Christina Koch and Jessica Meir — made history on October 18, by embarking on NASA’s first all-woman spacewalk. During the spacewalk, the two astronauts received a call from the White House. While speaking to President Donald Trump, Meir said, “We hope that we can provide an inspiration to everybody, not only women, but to everybody that has a dream, that has a big dream, and who is willing to work hard … this is my first flight and my very first spacewalk, so it is a pretty incredible feeling I’m sure you can all imagine, and it’s one I will never forget.”
