(HOUSTON) — NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless, the first person to fly freely and untethered in space, has died. He was 80.
He was famously photographed in 1984 flying with a hefty spacewalker’s jetpack, alone in the cosmic blackness above a blue Earth. He traveled more than 300 feet away from the space shuttle Challenger during the spacewalk.
