On February 7, 1984, Bruce McCandless while on the STS-41-B Space Shuttle Challenger mission, tested the MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit). At one point he was 320 feet from the Challenger, the farthest from a spacecraft in free space that any man has ever been. A famous photograph was taken that day, which NASA suggests may be one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken of a human being. I'm not going to disagree. See the continuation for the photograph.
