Bruce McCandless II (born 8 June 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA; died 21 December 2017 in Los Angeles, California, USA) was a United States Navy officer and aviator, electrical engineer, and NASA astronaut. In 1984, during the first of his two Space Shuttle missions (STS-41-B), he completed the first untethered spacewalk by using the Manned Maneuvering Unit. His other mission was STS-31 in 1990.
I met Mr McCandless at Autographica 20 in Heathrow in April 2014.
