Farthest Untethered Space Walk

Bruce McCandless II is the record holder for farthest untethered space walk in history. He used the MMU space suit to propel himself outside of the space shuttle Challenger and become a human satellite.

If given the opportunity I’d probably try this, but with a tether because I’m not quite as daring as Bruce. Would you try it?
