Description:(This description is AI generated and may contain inaccuracies.)
This collectible card features a prominent photographic image of astronaut Bruce McCandless II floating independently in outer space during a historic spacewalk. McCandless is wearing a white extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuit equipped with the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) propulsion pack, enabling him to fly solo without tether in space. The Earth forms a striking blue and white backdrop below him.
At the top left corner is the Cable & Wireless, Inc. corporate logo depicting a globe pattern. The card’s upper right corner displays the value "$3.00 USA" in white text on a black background. Below the astronaut image, centered text reads: "AMERICAN SPACE PIONEERS." Beneath this, in bold, it states "McCandless Flies First 'Solo' In Space," followed by the date "February 7, 1984." The NASA logo in red appears aligned to the lower right of the text.
This card commemorates Bruce McCandless II’s milestone as the first person to perform an untethered spacewalk using NASA technology during the Space Shuttle Challenger mission STS-41-B. It merges aerospace achievement with cable communication branding from Cable & Wireless, Inc.
Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
