September 27, 2008--Chinese astronaut Zhai Zhigang is seen here outside the orbiting Shenzhou-7 spacecraft taking the nation's first spacewalk.

The feat put China in an exclusive club with the U.S. and Russia. It's a key step toward the nation's goals of building a space station and landing on the moon.

China's rapidly advancing space program has raised concerns in the West and Japan that it may also have military ambitions in space, Reuters noted.
