Last month, the eleven students of NASA's newest astronaut class had graduated, five of whom are women – and one of them will likely be the first woman on the Moon!
Astronauts took on a unique experiment last month: baking snacks in space for the very first time, in an effort to make future extended missions to the moon and Mars more appetizing!
NASA astronaut Christina Koch broken the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman: she passed Peggy Whitson’s 2017 record of 289 days and 5 hours on December 28 – and she’s still in orbit!
Congratulations! Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, NASA Astronauts in the International Space Station, completed the first all-female space walk.
