In February 1984, Bruce McCandless II did the unthinkable. He stepped out of the Space Shuttle Challenger, unclipped his safety tether, and drifted into the infinite black void of the universe.
He didn't just walk in space; he became a moon. Orbiting the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour, completely detached from any spacecraft, Bruce was the first human to experience absolute, untethered freedom. Armed only with a nitrogen-powered "throne" called the MMU, he drifted 320 feet away from the ship, becoming the smallest satellite in history.
In this immersive episode of Cosmic Audio Journeys, we explore the heart-pounding physics, the engineering genius, and the profound philosophy behind the most iconic space photograph ever taken. From the "Lost Astronaut" nightmare scenarios to the visceral silence of the deep, this is a story of what happens when a human being finally lets go of the line.
