First Russian woman to go to International Space Station gets angry - PHOTO+VIDEO

A Russian cosmonaut has taken a stand against sexism by hitting back at a reporter who asked her questions about her hair and make-up ahead of her mission into space.

Yelena Serova was swift to chastise the offending member of the press after they made the comment at a NASA conference to mark the imminent launch of the joint US-Russian mission to the International Space Station (ISS).In the video clip of the press conference which is quickly gaining traction online, a visibly frustrated and embarrassed Yelena challenges the journalist, asking why they have not asked her fellow male astronauts similar questions.Given the serious nature of her mission, and the extensive training Serova has undergone, it is not surprising that she became frustrated when asked inane and totally unrelated questions simply based on her gender.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
