Two astronauts made the first spacewalk on Sunday outside China's new orbital station to work on setting up a 15-meter (50-foot) long robotic arm. Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo were shown by state TV climbing out of the airlock as Earth rolled past below them. The third crew member, commander Nie Haisheng, stayed inside. Their mission comes as the ruling Communist Party celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding.
