What a feeling it must be to be floating above Earth. I can only imagine. Now my first thought is, they are orbitin Earth right? So therefore he must be flying around the Earth at a couple thousands of miles per hour, no? Anyways what a sight. Im sure the thought came across his mind that hopefully nothing went wrong or flawed with his mmu while being so far away from the ship. It almost looks like a photoshopped image to think that someone in 1984 did this. I would not want to be the first person to have to test an untethered space walk. None the less Im sure he had some serious bragging rights when he landed. On a side note the picture of the man and Earth is poetic. The astronaut resembles the Earth in a manner of a single entity. The Earth despite being around millions of other planets and stars, we as humans are alone in the universe. The floating man emphasizes this fact of how unique we as a species are.
