“...On the spacewalk Mr. Liu follows him part way out of the hatch to assist. At one point a sensor error triggers a fire alarm. Fire is one of the most feared dangers of spaceflight. At that very moment the Shenzhou 7 loses contact with Earth. The passing moments seem like an eternity, but when contact is reestablished all is well and Mr. Liu can be heard advising Mr. Zhai, “Come on and let’s carry out this mission, anyway." As Mr. Zhai floats in space Mr. Liu hands him a Chinese flag to wave. Later, from the capsule, Mr. Liu talks to his family who ask what space is like. He replies, ‘There are stars below my feet that twinkle. It’s so, so beautiful.‘“
