How about a Moonwalk in space instead?

China has just completed nation's first space walk.
Ooh. Looks like everyone's trying to do something in space. Publicity for the nation?

Why not do something else. Something more extraordinary. Like the first Moonwalk in space, maybe US can consider firing Michael Jackson up to Mars, for a 10 km Moonwalk on the red sands there?

Or how about shooting a chicken up into space? To capture the first laying of egg by a chicken. As we know space is a vacuum, imagine the egg accelerating downwards forever as there's no resistant force acting on it.

Both these will generate far more publicity, not to mention the entertainment for us folks on planet earth.
