Women can do anything! Yes, we’re not afraid to say that, and it’s women like the ones we’re going to tell you about today that have convinced us of it. Because when the “weaker sex” can fly in the vast Cosmos on an equal footing with men, nothing is impossible for us ladies. Never mind that there is a lot of work to be done until equality is achieved in the astronaut profession as well.
►The women who changed the course of history and the world
Over the past 50 years, about 60 women have flown into space. On the other hand, more than 500 men have made their space “walk” during the same period of time. Of the global space agencies, only NASA and Roscosmos have sent women into space. The first woman cosmonaut was Valentina Tereshkova, who took off on June 16, 1963.
Can you believe these inventions are by women?
Unlike male astronauts, women in the profession have one important advantage. Can you guess what it is? They are generally preferred for long-duration space missions because of their lower body mass and less need for food and water.
Female astronauts are subject to the same physiological stresses and health risks as male astronauts, including the effects of space radiation and microgravity.
Among the female cosmonauts there are not only very physically fit, but also highly educated individuals, such as Svetlana Savitskaya, who was the first woman to perform a space walk.
Today, we’re going to introduce you to the 10 most distinguished female astronauts who teach us how you can achieve great things in any field, as long as you have the drive and desire.
