In this photo, taken #OTD in 1984, Bruce McCandless is an *football field away from the space shuttle with no safety tether.*
No astronaut, before or since, has been that far away from their ship while in orbit. (2/n)

McCandless spent one hour and 55 minutes untethered during this EVA, and the orbital period of the shuttle was just over 90 minutes.
So unless I’m missing something, Bruce McCandless *completed a full orbit of Earth while disconnected from the shuttle*.
Literal human satellite. 🧪 🔭

A cool little anecdote from Saturday's lunch.
When I say "in orbit," I mean it literally.
McCandless spent one hour and 55 minutes untethered during this EVA. The orbital period of the shuttle was just over 90 minutes.
So Bruce McCandless completed more than a full orbit of Earth while outside of and disconnected from the space shuttle. (3/n)

So honored and grateful to have my book collection, and more importantly, my philosophy about rare books, featured on CPR news!
This 26-year-old has a thing for 13th century manuscripts — and a prize to prove it
Rose McCandless says the real win is putting her “hands on something that is old and cool.”
