Retired astronaut Cady Coleman spent nearly a quarter-century with NASA.

Twice during the 1990’s, she flew Space Shuttle missions.

And in 2010 and 2011 she spent six months living on the International Space Station. Of the nearly 250 people to visit the ISS so far, less than forty are women.

But, living and working with all men was not for Coleman, a big deal.
