With the successfully completed first spacewalk, China is coming closer to its goal to build an orbiting space station.
Astronaut Zhai Zhigang completed the 15 minute spacewalk after clambering out of China’s space craft.
The Chinese-made 120 kg spacesuit that Zhai wore is thought to have cost 4.4 million U.S. dollars.
