Jakarta – Astronaut Bruce McCandless II has amazing and phenomenal photos. He floats in outer space.
His photos in space were phenomenal. Because he was the first person to pose like that in space.
Quoted from detikInetthe historic moment was immortalized by a photo taken from the space shuttle Challenger on February 7, 1984.
On February 7 and February 9, 1984, Bruce and fellow astronaut Bob Stewart boarded the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) and left their spaceship. At that time, they carried out ‘walking’ activities in outer space. In an article for GuardianBruce recalls the event.
“My wife was in mission control, and there was a little bit of concern. I wanted to say something similar to Neil (Armstrong) when he landed on the Moon, so I said, ‘This may be a small step for Neil, but it’s a big leap for me ‘. That eased the tension a little,” he said.
Bruce said that he experienced an extraordinary moment and an achievement at that time. Even so, it is not easy to do such amazing things in space.
“It’s an incredible feeling, a mix of personal excitement and professional pride: it took years to get to that point,” Bruce admitted.

“Oh my gosh, nooo,” wrote one netizen.
“Hard to believe he wasn’t pulled into orbit with a load of steel,” said another.
“Super-ultra-mega-no. I want to create 20 more variants of the word ‘no’, just for this. (Doing) that is the ultimate no,” exclaimed netizens.
