Last I heard, the gloves have to be custom fit.
My thoughts too. At the very least I would have expected her to discover this problem during underwater training PRIOR to launch.
>>Oops, forgot, those were those were men and women with actual STEM talent, not silly marshmallow degrees in HR.>>
The movie about the 2 black math chicks that supposedly were instrumental in the moon launch was pure bunk.
People who were on the project said there were indeed 2 black chicks in the math division. But they were work-checkers in the back shop. They didn’t go to meetings, didn’t lead anything, didn’t formulate anything. They just checked the work of the front line people.
The astronaut in the picture was actually kinda cool. She brought...and wore...a ‘Star trek:TNG’ uniform top in pictures on the ISS. Trekkies went berserk after seeing that.
So NASA could not configure space suits for women. They should have called Hollywood. I never saw a Sci-fi film where they did not have space suits just for women and in their sizes with cleavage.
For the Apollo missions, that was the case.
Nothing about space bears and menstruation?
Do astronauts ever lock themselves out of the spacecraft? “Did anyone bring the key?”
“They need to just go to Hollywood and ax around, they’ve got at least one spacesuit hanging around somewhere that would do just fine”
Apparently, they didn’t fit that well, though.

That was the old Apollo style suits. During the Space Shuttle program, NASA developed more modular style space suits.
I hate this symbolic BS.
Maybe they didn’t have the right color either.
They didn’t all want to go to work wearing what somebody else also wore.
yes, baby, all space walks are formal dress and evening wear
NASA deals in clickbait these days.
This is pretty stupid. 1. Organizing an all woman walk as a gimmick, 2. Not checking if necessary suits available for the gimmick, and 3. Not having a suit for each person on board the space station!
What about color/style? Gonna run into a heap o' trouble, when the astronauts see for first moment another with the wearing the same spacesuit.
