NASA announced to cancel the much-anticipated all-female spacewalk partly due to spacesuit availability this upcoming Friday. /VCG Photo
Astronauts Christina Koch and Anne McClain were planned to be the first women-cast debut in space on March 29. They would have been responsible for the second new lithium-ion batteries replacement outside the International Space Station (ISS). /VCG Photo
But NASA said they will replace McClain with Nick Hague, who conducted the first spacewalk on March 22, because there is only one spacesuit available the right size for both women. /VCG Photo
After McClain's first spacewalk, NASA said she learned "a medium-size hard upper torso – essentially, the shirt of the spacesuit – fits her best," but it will go to Koch on Friday, according to the agency. /VCG Photo
