Houston, we have another problem. China is about to go EVA:
China launched a three-man crew into space Thursday night, including one who will make the country's first spacewalk — its most challenging mission since its first orbital flight in 2003.

The three astronauts — who were reported in good physical condition, with body temperature and blood pressure normal early Friday — were scheduled to assemble and test their space suits later in the day ahead of the spacewalk, which Xinhua said will most likely happen on Saturday afternoon.

China Manned Space Engineering Office said earlier that the spacewalk could occur either Friday or Saturday, depending on how well the astronauts adapt to weightlessness and other physical demands of their environment.
Anyone in Houston, Texas, not worried about their job getting outsourced to China better wake the fuck up.

And they're not "astronauts", they're Taikonauts.
