Perhaps the most-terrifying space photograph to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats
completely untethered, away from the safety of the space shuttle, with nothing but
his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive.

to take such a risk for humanity from here

-- well.......... I guess, as long as you're up there and maintaining orbital velocity.....
you are perfecly safe - assuming you don't get hit by any "space junk" -

Having said that, there is still no freakin' way anybody'd EVER
get me to do that!! -  lol -
