He's out there!



First-ever spacewalk for China! Yea... I know Americans and Russians did that... But we are the third! Not bad at all!!

Zhai Zhigang floated out of the Shenzhou 7 orbiter module's hatch at 4:30pm Beijing Time, September 27, 2008. Liu Boming also emerged briefly to hand Zhai a Chinese flag. "It feels good. Greetings to all the people of the nation and all the people of the world," Zhai said.
