Bruce McCandless, who was captured in a iconic photograph in 1984 as he made the first untethered flight in space, has died aged 80.
At a post-flight news conference back on Earth, he said he had experienced no fear of flying loose from the craft.
«Once you’re accustomed to seeing the Earth rushing by at four miles per second and you concentrate on the Orbiter and/or the spar as your references at hand, you feel quite comfortable flying around at the relatively slow velocities with respect to them.»
On STS-41B in 1984, he performed the famous spacewalk and on STS-31 in 1990 he helped deploy the Hubble Space Telescope.
RIP
