Astronaut Bruce McCandless, the first person to fly freely in space, dies
Bruce McCandless, the Nasa astronaut who was first person to fly freely and untethered in space, has died aged 80.
He was famously photographed in 1984 flying with a spacewalker’s jetpack, alone in the cosmic blackness above the Earth. He travelled more than 90m (300ft) away from the space shuttle Challenger during the spacewalk.
“The iconic photo of Bruce soaring effortlessly in space has inspired generations of Americans to believe that there is no limit to the human potential,” senator John McCain said in a statement. The Arizona Republican and McCandless were classmates at the US naval academy.
