Hi Takei, this is a great question, I could not let it go unanswered. From what I read, this is China's 3rd manned space mission. And this will also be China's first space walk. One possibility is that they want to test the suits against each other, and another could be that they do not fully trust their suits. And Russia certainly has more time on that card. Alternatively, this could be a sign of two superpowers working together , which will undoubtedly be called another "space race" or maybe even a "star wars..." Ill keep an eye out on this. I also read it is going to be broadcast live, that will surely be interesting to see.
