Giant leap for womankind
Two women will be in charge of two spacecraft for the first time Tuesday
By MARCIA DUNN - The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A giant leap is about to be made for womankind.
When space shuttle Discovery blasts off Tuesday, a woman will be sitting in the commander’s seat. And at the international space station, a female skipper will be waiting to greet her.
It will be the first time in the 50-year history of spaceflight that two women are in charge of two spacecraft at the same time.
