When I first saw that pic 'way back when', I couldn't help but think were it me in that space suit, knowing I was untethered, you couldn'ta drove a needle up my butt with a jackhammer!
I said then & I say now, "Hurrah, to the McCandless Puckerstring!" But gosh, can you imagine the view!?!

Can't believe nobody brought up....
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here, I am floating round my tin can

And there’s nothing I can do ..."
(Neuf's slipping *LOL*)
Hearing the song always reminds me of that image.
