• 3．Wang Yaping，a female astronaut of Shenzhou Ⅲ，became China's first and the world's 16^th female spacewalker.The expected six-month journey in space made many people interested in the differences between male and female astronauts，especially on performance of extravehicular activities（ EVAs，舱外活动）.
     Women are better at communication，and this is helpful in EVAs，according to Yang Yuguang，an offer of the International Astronautical Federation（IAF ，国际宇航联合会）.
     Men and women are different in body size.Female's smaller size is an advantage，as women will be able to control their weight better and perform more kinds of tasks，Pang Zhihao，a spaceflight researcher in Beijing，told China Daily.
     Women usually weigh less，and eat less food，so they require less fuel to get into space.A spacewalker must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to fit in the cabin（舱） of spacecraft and use less fuel，according to CGTN.
     A different body shape requires a different spacesuit.A tailor-made spacesuit was prepared for Wang's EVAs，which was lighter than the male's Researchers optimized the spacesuit in the lower limbs（下肢） to make it more suitable for her.
     According to Pang，many studies have found that female astronauts are suitable for space tasks，and have advantages over male astronauts in attention to details（ 细节） and thinking comprehensively（综合地）.
     Men do better in shorter-term situations，while women are better in longer-term situations，according to National Geographic.
     Women's participation in EVAs is an important part of space tasks，and we are witnessing history thanks to Wang's bravery ，according to Yang.
