Answer:

It's Simple.

Step-by-step explanation:

just use literary elements to rewrite Paragraph 1.

For example, you can use point of view or the setting.

The point of view isnt very specific so you probably shouldn't use point of view. Use the mood, or the setting, or the theme.

RECOMMENDATION(s):

It's recommended that you use the Theme. The theme is about female astronauts and such...how females can do what men can do and men can do what females do....stuff like that. Use the theme to rewrite it, and I don't mean to literally use the theme to rewrite in as in "wOMen can be aSTRoNAuts!!!" No, I mean to rewrite paragraph 1 using literary elements like "Women can do the things men can do, and vice versa. We are all human" something like that, don't be too specific about the theme, since it's a theme and it's the Reader that's supposed to be pointing it out, not the author. So pretend you're the author at the same time while rewriting paragraph 1.

Answer:

NASA was an exclusively male work place for a long time, but that is changing. The first all-female spacewalk at the International Space Station was carried out in October of 2019 and many other milestones have already been accomplished by female astronauts. But there has yet to be a first woman on the moon (or on Mars), and since NASA is planning to return astronauts to the moon soon, some female members of the newest cohort graduating last week might just be the ones to achieve those firsts.

The first women to enter and graduate from NASA astronaut class were Sally Ride, Anna Fisher, Judith Resnik, Kathryn Sullivan, Margaret Rhea and Shannon Lucid, who entered the program in 1978. According to NASA and Collect Space, the number of women admitted to the program has risen, in total and as a share of aspiring astronauts. Ride became the first American woman in space, after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Fisher became the first mother to fly in space. Resnik tragically died in the 1986 Challenger explosion.

While the new graduating cohort has a 45/55 percent (5 women, 7 men) split in favor of men (after one male also quit during training), 2013 saw the first, albeit small, gender equal astronaut cohort, with four men and four women starting NASA astronaut training.
