Man Floating in Space
This is Bruce McCandless, a man who has done it all. He’s been a United States Navy officer. He’s been an aviator. He’s been an electrical engineer, and he’s also been an astronaut. In this image, he is seen floating above Earth’s atmosphere without a tether to his ship. What kept him from floating away into the dark reaches of outer space? He had a Manned Maneuvering unit that allowed him to navigate anywhere he wanted to go.
