To Fly Free in Space
Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats untethered in space, about 100 meters from the Space Shuttle Challenger. He was the first person to achieve this feat, using a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) during mission 41-B in 1984. This image captures him in a moment of unprecedented freedom in the vacuum of space.
