When you realize that he's traveling at 17, 000 mph, it kind of gives you pause to appreciate the astronauts.

He's not floating, technically he's falling.

... Bruce McCandless... Two.

Do you mean *_The Second?_* As in John D Rockefeller The Third? Or John D Rockefeller III...

I was gonna make a "Space Oddity" joke, but I couldn't fit it.

[Starius]

It would be said outloud as "Bruce mccandless, the second", meaning he is a Jr or a junior, named after his father.

I'd love to go to space, but not to do that! This guy has some serious cojones.

[williamburroughs]

How is that terrifying? That would be awesome!! He’s got a jet pack to maneuver with.

Terrifying is putting it lightly since your feet are far from surface.

80s astronauts left nothing for todays astronauts. moon landing, car driving on moon, space walk, space rescue, mir, skylab, etcetc they were much more daring baaz. 🎉

Sempre me sinto desconfortável quando vejo esta foto e minha respiração sempre sai do modo automático, não sei porque, eu sei que ele está seguro, mas continuo tenso.
