The historic spacewalk had been scheduled for FridayUpdated: 26th March 2019,NASA'S first ever all-female spacewalk has been canned because the agency doesn't have enough spacesuits in the right size.
But a wardrobe malfunction means McClain will be replaced with a man on the zero-gravity maintenance job, which involves installing new batteries on the orbiting space lab. McClain realised she needed a different sized spacesuit for Friday's mission, but Nasa only has one in this size.
