inothernews: ASTRONAUT BRUCE McCANDLESS:  Hey, can anyone hear me? SHUTTLE COMMANDER:  Roger, go for Challenger. McCANDLESS:  Can you open the bay doors, please? COMMANDER:  Who is this? McCANDLESS:  It’s McCandless, sir.  I, um, misfired the Manned Maneuvering Unit again. COMMANDER  (looking out viewport):  “Misfired”?  Are you kidding me? McCANDLESS:  No sir.  (Waves.)  I’m all the way out, sir.  About 320 feet. COMMANDER:  Sigh.  Okay, hang on.  Lemme snap a photo first. McCANDLESS:  Okay.  I’ll just wait, I guess.  (Whistles.) COMMANDER:  Is that the theme to Star Trek, son? McCANDLESS:  Yes, sir.  Sorry, sir.
