The truth is even more bizarre
"The suits were the wrong colour, they were last years style and putting on makeup is damn near impossible," said one of the women.
Another said, "they only gave us 4 hours to get ready, honestly, that's just unreasonable"
The third woman said. "That old thing, it makes my bum look big, no way am I gonna get into that and parade around for The world to see."
But it could have been worse.
The first gay in space was called off when NASA was advised that the rocket was.
"Not only the wrong colour, it was totally the wrong shape and even with a million sequins, it woukd still look so.....mundane dahling "
What should have been a giant leap for womankind has turned into a stumble on the path to equality after US space agency NASA cancelled the first all-female spacewalk because a lack of a spacesuit in the right size.
Anne McClain and Christina Koch had been due to step into history books in a spacewalk on Friday, during the final week of Women's History Month.
But McClain will now give up her place on the mission to her male colleague Nick Hague, NASA announced late on Monday.
"Mission managers decided to adjust the assignments, due in part to spacesuit availability on the station," NASA said in a statement.
"McClain learned during her first spacewalk that a medium-size hard upper torso - essentially the shirt of the spacesuit - fits her best. Because only one medium-size torso can be made ready by Friday, March 29, Koch will wear it."
