NASA astronaut Jessica Meir can check “becoming an astronaut” and “going for a spacewalk” off her “future plans” list from her childhood. “Go to the moon” is still there.
In her high school yearbook, NASA astronaut Jessica Meir wrote"go for a spacewalk" on the list of her plans for the future, Meir said Monday during a news conference from the International Space Station.
Now, she can check that box. Meir, alongside fellow astronaut and friend Christina Koch successfully conducted the first all-female spacewalk outside of the space station on Friday. While both women recognize how important and historic their spacewalk was, they also hope it becomes commonplace and isn't regarded as a big deal in the future. Meir and Koch have been training together for more than six years and were both selected as astronauts in 2013.
