I am a little sick of people going on what a "giant step for womankind" it is in outer space. It seems the commander on the space shuttle Discovery's next flight and the commander of the International Space Station are both females. As a result, it will be the first time in five decades of manned space flight that two women are in charge of space craft at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against two woman commanding space craft. I do, however, hate the fact that people are treating this as an accomplishment rather than asking themselves what took so long for this milestone to be reached.
