On the afternoon of September 27, 2008, astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese man to walk in space on Saturday, clambering (攀爬) out of China's Shenzhou VII spacecraft in a technological feat (成就) that made the Chinese people excited.
“I'm feeling quite well. I greet the Chinese people and the people of the world,”Zhai said as he climbed out of the craft at around 16∶40 Beijing time, a historic achievement telecast live on CCTV. Tens of millions of Chinese viewers gathered before TV screens to watch the moment.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders had appeared at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center to watch the live transmission of Zhai's space walk.
Zhai, 42, chosen by an expert team for the first “outofcapsule activity,”showed a red national flag, helped by colleague Liu Boming, who also briefly popped his head out of the capsule.
Zhai slowly made his way towards a test sample of solid lubricant (润滑剂) outside the capsule, took a sample and handed it to Liu.
Zhai safely returned inside the craft after about 20 minutes. The walk marked the highpoint of China's third manned space journey, which has received widespread media coverage.
Zhai wore a $4.4 million Chinesemade suit weighing 120 kg. Liu wore a Russianmade one and acted as an assistant.
The third crew member, Jing Haipeng, monitored the ship from inside the reentry module.
