China spacewalk - pride of the nation

I was walking around a shopping mall in HK last weekend - called 'Time Square' it happens to boast one of the largest outdoor TV screens I've ever seen. At the event of historical happenings, people gather in their thousands in front of this screen.

I found myself gawping AND clapping AND cheering with the rest of them last Saturday when a Chinese astronaut - or yuhangyuan - made the country's first spacewalk. Exciting to be part of the crowd.
