To Fly Free in Space
Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats free in space, about 100 meters from the Space Shuttle Challenger's cargo bay. He is guided by a Manned Maneuvering Unit, or MMU, which uses nitrogen jets for propulsion. This untethered spacewalk in 1984 was a first, pushing the boundaries of human exploration.
