On Feb. 12, 1984, astronaut Bruce McCandless, ventured further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut had ever been. This space first was made possible by a nitrogen jet propelled backpack, previously known at NASA as the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU.
After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This stunning orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space.

Flat earthers are like dogs barking at vacuum cleaners.
@akacraigmack HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA your a dog barking at a vacuum cleaner! You sound like a flat earther to me... ALIEN! HAHAHAHAHAHA. This shit kills me lmfao.
Don't forget the moon faketards!
@@lightinfintry jokes on you
Could not find a better image to describe them! :D
@akacraigmack 2:51 lol there's no land mass as big as that it's gotta be Pangea or something. 🤔 But still its not flat FLATTARD.
His son was in the dorm room next to mine in college. All he ever said about his dad is that he worked for NASA. A few years later, I was like WTF?
Great
How did you find out what his dad did?
@Frank Castle 2.0 light balancing on cameras. Have you ever tried to capture a picture of the moon but it's either way too bright so that the sky appears oddly light and grainy, or way too dim to the point you can't see it well? That's essentially what's happening here. The station's white and the suit's white, they're in direct sunlight, so to focus on them the brightness is reduced, which means the dimmer objects in the background are darker too, and so the stars are pretty much not visible. They're still there, just not picked up by the camera. You'd see them in real life if you focused your eyes away from the light but as soon as you turn back it would hurt I think. Flashbang-ed by the Sun
@Frank Castle 2.0 you gonna defend yourself cause the guy up completely destroyed your bullshit buddy
@Frank Castle 2.0 how dumb can you be
I thought I was brave until I saw this. 300 feet away from your only hope of getting back home is incredible.
If the thing broke he be a dead man should be an emergency use only to fix and asses and space ship
Just the thought floating untethered through space gives me the chills!
Lmao

Balls of steel! Basically he is operating that without being able to see where his hands and fingers are! Incredible, and to be that far away for safety, it could easily have gone horribly wrong. So happy for this guy, what an amazing thing to do successfully!
@Ghost Heart It's what their made of that matters.
Fortunately, his massive balls were not a problem being weightless in the vacuum of space
@theassassassin6127theoretical testicular mass, size and molecular composition are fundamental in space related endeavors, it’s science!
@atavistic_platypusdont be a clown. It's a common and widely used expression.its quite odd that this offends you.
All he had to do is pose behind a green screen and do his part as an actornaut.
this guy has balls of steel,....4 hours driftin through the space... wtf
@Ghost HeartIf it was then the earth would had been orbiting this man's balls. They would be that huge
@Ghost Heart balls of steel isn't a size its the bravery and courage the man has that makes them steel. Since its dangerous to let go of things you're gripped on in space without a tether. This man was the first to actually try to use a jetpack while drifting away and if it failed he was gone.
@Ghost Heart boomer alert
@Ghost Heart you really must be a boomer if you dont know that balls of steel is a metaphor for being brave
@Atavistic Platypus can’t take a joke dude so overreacting
Damn he flew a 300 feet away that's freaking scary
BJJ Xz
@BJJXz
You may well be correct about that but I think that would only apply if there was little or no drift.
Actually it was 300,000 gazillion light years away.
I would be thinking in my head that something bad is going to happen, it's going to run out of fuel or something
It's filmed in a studio on earth, nothing scary about it.
@@danielmconnolly7 it is funny how the brainwashed buys into these made up productions. Isn't NASA one of the biggest producers of space flicks. Yes!!!
I am surprised his balls of steel didn't effect the eaths gravity or something.. sheesh.
There is no such thing as gravity, or black holes, or a globe earth.
@@danielmconnolly7 Remember the time before you became a loon.

then why do objects fall when you drop them? are the objects paid actors? If Earth isn't sphere, what about the sun, moon, and other planets?

Yo I can't see your comment about atmospheric pressure. When I click the notification, it takes me to nowhere. Can you post here so I can see?
Imagine if he got into a uncontrollable spin and couldn’t get out of it, one of the most scary situations I could think of.
This scene always gives me chills with that music and the picture of him floating in front of the earth simply amazing
He is the proud winner of the best photo of a human competition.

Their metric system is so weird that they always need a real life reference point to understand it

Hasnt ever slowed us down though ;)
@@Bob-vc6ug Mars Climate Orbiter **cough cough **
@@unhommequicourt So what? Problems arise during missions at times. Harsh environment, computer glitches, human error. Its almost a miracle that these pieces of equipment still work most of the time once they get to their destination.
What's crazy is the ISS is traveling around earth at 15,500 miles per hour. So not only is he soloing space, but he's doing it at 15,500 miles per hour. This man is a legend.
Qualquer astronauta/cosmonauta em orbita baixa está, aproximadamente, a esta velocidade.
so what? our solar system travels around in the galaxy at a speed much much faster than that. Our earth is always circling around the sun as well. As long as you don't feel "acceleration" you're good. Learn some real physics :)
This is actually on the space shuttle not the ISS but I get what you mean :)
actually more like 17,400 mph
dudes pulled up to the replies just to mansplain lmao
Floating in a void of cosmos with entire planet 350km below your feet, nothing gets more surreal than that.
This was honestly extremely terrifying, all it takes is for one thing to go wrong and you'd have someone possibly floating forever in orbit around the Earth in space with a limited supply of oxygen.
An actornaut in front of a green screen 0:08
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“floating forever” and “limited oxygen” don’t make sense in the same sentence. he would be dead in a couple hours considering astronaut oxygen tanks last approximately 8 hours.
He didn't have enough nitrogen in those jets to push him out of the orbiter's range.
@Neuwey331
@wood8588
You're both wrong
@@wood8588 He'd still be floating regardless
Love seeing these images of h8m out there with the pack on. I so vividly remember seeing them over the years. Such a poignant and important picture of our space exploration.
One of the most famous images that's ever stuck with me is Bruce McCandless floating out in space flying the MMU. That photo must have been reproduced incalculable times. It was on magazine covers, the front pages of science and space books. As a kid whenever I wanted to learn or read something about space, very close by was the image of Bruce McCandless floating so peacefully above mother Earth.
I remember seeing his pic on one of our Encyclopedias when i was a kid. It was surreal!
U mean unreal
I can imagine it being already scary enough having to climb back on the cord after losing grip on the ISS
I can not even begin to imagine how immensly stressful it would be to do that with a jetpack instead of a cord.
Without men of his ilk and courage, space flight would still be an experiment. Unbelievable confidence in the engineering and equipment he had to rely on. What a story. Instinctually, I wonder if he ever felt like he was going to fall?
I don't know if they feel like they're going to fall, after you've been in orbit for long enough, that feeling of falling tends to go away, but maybe being outside the space station and seeing earth like that would change it
Winners never lose losers never win
Takes courage to be an Actornaut
@@climbingworkoutsit takes courage to present yourself as conspiracy idiot
@@climbingworkoutsdon’t worry, your flat earth theory is believed all around the world mate.
Its the "dream" we can only dream... but it is painful when you realise that we will never get this kind opportunity ever in our entire life.
Cause it's no real
@@davidcarson9416 yeah and earth is flat😂
Actually Jet pack on earth are a thing now. I think in 10 or 20 years some of us could afford this kind of thing. Being able to do that on earth would be almost as amazing, no?
We have the same birthday! I know it's not a big of a deal in some sense but it gave me some courage because of how brave he is! He's one of my inspirations in pursuing my dream to become a computer engineer so I can later work with NASA. I hope I can be great like him someday and contribute something to our Earth and beyond.
They view of earth always gets me. So beautiful!
beautifully crafted animation 😍
@@jjevans1693 ? it's not animated LMAO
Ok , nice fantasy.
@@infamous_richard8732 You know the iss supposedly travels at 17 000 miles per hour. So, if he is 300 feet away how does he maintain the speed of the space station. With a jet pack lol 😆 Absurd. People go wow so beautiful, then Nasa says , yes, now give us our 24 billion dollar a year budget, so we can put out more cgi images.
@@jjevans1693 bro that’s how big space is even going at that speed is nothing compared to everything else you know that right? Also he keeps the momentum since there’s no gravity in space it follows the space station, you know that right?
This pic actually is shown by windows XP wallpaper,screensaver too i just got remembered the tilt astrounaut...great brave hearted ma salute....
"Amazing, awesome moments for NASA's science & exploration, freaking cool".
That is so scary yet amazing at the same time
Damn, you must have some guts to drift that far away from safety. I can’t imagine if that thing malfunction 🤭

Man I wish I could have met him. He was my dad's grandmother's sister's son, so I was technically his distant cousin. Nobody at school believes me but it's actually true. I'm just a 16 year old kid who loves space and science and dreams of becoming an astronaut. He sadly died last year, never knowing who I was. Rest in peace Bruce McCandless
@Google It Yourself Thank you very much!
how disappointing not to see footage of his camera filming the shuttle
He forgot to bring his camera that day...

I would have been absolutely terrified. I would have feared the jetback breaking or a failure of some kind and to just float into the vast nothingness of space almost forever

That thought freaks me right out mate.
I had a vision of the jet pack burners failing and having to wait an hour and a half on my own until they came back around. Sweaty palms again just writing that scenario.
@@Kelan-pn6em oh right, ok! Bloomin terrifying to me
@PhreshFunk That's low earth orbit. It's where the ISS is at also and it too needs to be boosted every now and then or it'll fall to earth. You need to be quite a bit further away to eliminate the drag.
@PhreshFunk why would you say they are too far up to be pulled into the earth's atmosphere? gravity is almost the same in low earth orbit, about 5% less
This was filmed underwater in a pool at NASA.
Amazing. That man has guts
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen
Yeah, not baut for NASA in 1984. Now they have better CGI.
Awe-inspiring! And probably one of the more underrated achievements of mankind in Space

Given that both him and the space station are traveling over 27 000 km/h this gives me chills.
It wasn't from the space station.

His humor at a point like that. Balls of steel he must have. Hufffff
Nice clip! One of my favorites.
RIP Bruce McCandless II
The thumbnail reminds me of the Windows 98 space screensaver lol
It is beautiful
In the first few seconds of the video you see earth in the background.. Splendid! Yet for it to appear the size it does in frame I'm sure youd have to be well beyond low earth orbit. I see about 1/3 of it there.
Honestly to see that type of view , losing my life wouldn’t even be on my mind . I would trade anything to do that
this is jsut beautiful!
Objects in mirror are closer than they appear ...
OMG! That is absolutely amazing - that man has big kahunas!
Love it.
That’s one brave ass man cus if anything went wrong like the jet pack stopped working he’s dead basically not attached to anything
Won't other astronauts help him..wit their jet backs...
Wouldn’t mind dying like that tbh
I do a lot of photography, and I can confirm that no, this video is not using fisheye lens. This fact paired with the dozens of ways to prove the earth’s shape makes it pretty apparent that the earth is in fact, a globe
Talking about having the biggest balls on earth that's some amazing brave stuff right there
wow, if I were there I would be dead from vertigo 😂
This is just AMAZING!!!!!
Amazingly Fake.
Holy shit shut the fuck up, Daniel.
Pregunto con que zoom tomaron la escena y desde donde?
Probably THE GREATEST ADVENTURE/EXPERIENCE/FEELING EVER!!! What a lucky man that Bruce McCandless was! Of course, a real hero too! R.I.P.! *** Sadly, our ordinary everyday life is so damn boring and unimportant compared to that..........
I have a question about speed of shuttle...can ajest with the jet pack...
Next was George Cloony

Not a flat earthier but what exactly is the apparatus pushing/thrusting against; seeing as there’s no air in space?
For that matter how does a rocket even work in a vacuum?
Question everything.
It doesn’t need to push or thrust against anything. Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction.
@@JohnHazenhousen wow that flew right over head whole writing that question. Thanks for clearing that up.
@@cxjaguar617 the jet pack "exhaust" has mass.. to force the exhaust mass in one direction, there is an equal an opposite force on the astronaut causing him to go in the other direction.. the net change in momentum has to be zero..
That was 46 years ago. Think how much technology has changed since then. We should move 20% of the military budget to NASA.
@Morelli The problem is most people don't care. But it's a good point, we're going for other planets before we know all about our own.
But spaceflight is more than "only" knowledge about live that probably doesn't affect us, so i'd fund NASA too lol
Can u say brainwashed
@@jamoin3829 what? What in space can benefit us right now. If we take money away from the military we will have less defense.

That guy is a SUPERHERO!!! Once I was dreaming about floating through the universe on an huge ice cube🧊, dressed in a silk gown. I was so scared I didn’t dare to move, the cube was speeding up & it was extremely cold! I woke up drenched in sweat. Universe is beautiful, yet terrifying & scares me. Deepest respect to every single astronaut in the world.
The balls on this guy produced his own gravitational field.

How might it even feel to look down at earth from that high in a vast space. I can't even look below a tall building
What a boss! 👏👏👏
I would have had a panic attack,I would have been totally hysterical "and know HOW and WHAT to do to come back safely,I want be HOME NOW with a friend and my cup of tea" etc...
Flat earthers are proof that sometimes evolution works in reverse.
I purchased a magazine with that historical photo of Bruce McCandless on the cover, yet I could not remember his name until seeing this video. In the early days of space flight the names of astronauts were household names for much of the public. It seems to me that it was during the Space Shuttle era with so many being sent into orbit, that the public no longer kept up as much with their names.
Yep, the fame of the astronauts is gone…
Those were the old suits too so imagine how far they’ve come with the jet pack.
But how can he get to the ship as both would be having different speeds when he left the ship n going to 300 feet..so how all he stepped back...with differnt super speeds...
no friction
@jimmyfly oky
Relative to the shuttle, he's only moving at about a meter per second. He and the shuttle are moving at the same orbital speed.
Please let me go !! Watch what I’ll do !! GIVE ME THE CHANCE, I’ll orbit earth with no ship
Damn doing this without a tethering device is really Brave.
An amazing moment in Space history.
no freaking way i get scared on a ladder. that is insane
