MMU Question	29 Mar 2005 15:02 GMT	18
Today's APOD picture features McCandless flying an MMU 100 meters from the payload bay. Someone is arguing if the MMU were to fail, the poor astro is screwed. I'm thinking it would be relatively easy to just fly the orbiter over, and either grabbing him with the RMS or scooping ...
