  176 years ago, today in 1848, the women's suffrage movement began in the United States.
• 0:24
  In the 1820s and 1830s, women became active in various reform groups.
• 0:30
  They challenged the cult of true womanhood, which confined women to domestic roles.
• 0:37
  This led to the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where activists like Elizabeth Cady
• 0:42
  Stanton and Lucretia Mott advocated for women's rights, including the right to vote.

  The struggle continued through the 19th century, culminating in the ratification of the 19th

  The Viper rover was part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload program.

• 7:25
  Nikola Fox, NASA's missions administrator, emphasized that the mission team's diligent work
• 7:30
  through the pandemic was not in question.

  Due to delays, the launch would have been pushed to September 2025,
• 7:38
  increasing costs and affecting other missions.

  We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers.
