Astronaut Bruce McCandless II captured during his historic spacewalk in 1984. He was the first person in history to float completely untethered from his spacecraft, using only his Manned Maneuvering Unit. The image is a powerful and terrifying illustration of the profound solitude and vulnerability of a human in space. It represents a monumental moment of courage and technological achievement. | Thedeepastronomy
