　　CNN reported that Chinese astronauts successfully carried out the first spacewalk outside the space station, which is an "important milestone" in China's fast-developing space program.

　　The Russian satellite network pointed out that this is the first spacewalk mission of the Shenzhou 12 astronaut, and it is also the first outing of the Chinese astronaut in 13 years.

　　"Compared with 13 years ago, this time out of the cabin is longer and the mission is more complicated, reflecting that China's manned spaceflight capability has ranked first in the world, and is currently second only to the United States." Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao analysis pointed out.

　　Agence France-Presse noted that the first Chinese astronaut to leave the capsule that day was Liu Boming.

The robotic arm of the core module of the space station lifted Liu Boming to the designated position for the first time, successfully completing the exit operation.

　　Agence France-Presse said that this is another spacewalk for Chinese astronauts since the spacewalk of Shenzhou VII astronaut Zhai Zhigang in 2008.

Zhai Zhigang’s successful exit that year made China the third country to complete a spacewalk for astronauts after the Soviet Union and the United States.

At 9:22 on June 17, Beijing time, the Long March 2 F Yao 12 carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft was ignited and launched on time at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

A social media user wrote: "The achievements at every step have moved me beyond words."

　　The report also stated that the service life of the Tiangong space station is expected to be at least 10 years, and China has stated that it will be open to cooperation with the International Space Station.

　　German media pointed out that although the design scale of the Chinese space station is smaller than the international space station dominated by the United States and Russia, if it completes its initial construction goals as planned in 2022, it is likely to replace the international space station that is about to be decommissioned and become the only long-term space station in low-Earth orbit.
