An incredible step forward for 'man'kind, the new whirlwind
around the first all-female spacewalk has been an incredible thing to witness,
especially in concert with the topics we've covered thus far. I think it has
been a unique insight into the current state of gender politics in the USA and
is a particularly interesting topic of discussion. American public
servants, on both sides of the aisle and of all creeds, have been in support of
the walk and used it as a postable, discussable, part of the American
psyche. I am not really sure how I feel about the use of such a momentous
event as political ballast but I think it is an interesting topic of
discussion.
