Hillary Clinton Fires Off Response To NASAs Female Spacesuit Problem

Twitter lost its collective mind Monday when news seemingly ripped straight from The Onion went into orbit.

The first all-female NASA spacewalk, which had been scheduled for March 29, was canceled because of wait for it a lack of properly sized suits . Astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch, who were scheduled to participate in the walk, both needed a size medium hard upper torso, which the agency described as “essentially the shirt of the spacesuit.” And only one was available. 

NASA clarified Tuesday in a tweet that it has more than one medium-size suit  but, because of time constraints, it would be “safer and faster” to switch out McClain for a male astronaut.

But that didn’t stop expert suit wearer  Hillary Clinton  from offering a solution: 

NASA’s spacesuit problem dates much farther back than this would-be history-making walk. NPR reported in 2017 that the organization has only 11 spacesuits , or extravehicular mobility units, which were all designed more than 40 years ago. It added that the cost to build a new suit from scratch would be $250 million. 

So, not quite as easy as just making a new one. But a challenge that maybe should have been dealt with more than a few days before a giant leap for womankind was scheduled? 

Worst case scenario, NASA could always send out the bat signal to fashion designer Christian Siriano. He has a way of making outfits magically appear that others deem impossible .
