Two NASA astronauts will conduct the first all-female spacewalk in history via CNBCMakeIt

An all-female crew will perform a spacewalk at the International Space Station for the first time in history, according to NASA.

The walk marks 35 years since Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to walk in space in 1963. Since then, 59 different women have flown to space as of 2017, including cosmonauts, astronauts, payload specialists and foreign national, according to NASA. "When you are finally in space and you're finally looking back at Earth and you realize for the first time in your life there's nothing standing between you and your dream, it's just so hard to describe the profound impact of that," McClain told NPR in February.
