bruce mccandless spacewalk

In 1984, Bruce McCandless hovered 320 ft away, untethered from the Challenger and made it back safely using a nitrogen jetpack called Manned Maneuver Unit

Testing the MMU for the first time in space required a lot of focus and bravery, but McCandless and Stewart had faith in the hardware. Weighing 300 lbs. /136 kg, the MMU was powered by 24 small compressed nitrogen thrusters with two motion-controlled handles on either armrest for simple maneuvering. It was developed by engineer Charles Whitsett, and McCandless tested the MMU underwater and inside the Skylab space station prior to his famous spacewalk.

Oh wait, it IS you. You ARE the person you act like online.

Columbian Soldier with a live 40mm grenade in his skull

Military medics in Bogota, Colombia, held their nerve to remove the grenade, which could have exploded at any time, killing and injuring those in the vicinity.

It had become embedded in the skull of the soldier, identified as Luis Eduardo Perez Arango, of the Arauca Army’s eighth division.

The dangerous procedure was carried out in the car park of the city’s Military Hospital, where a temporary operating theatre was set up to keep others safe.Medics were worried that moving the patient might detonate the device.
