I love the sentiment, but also, then choosing famously the first untethered spacewalk for the photo. Why even put tethered in there.

Has anyone got something more productive for me to overthink please

Tethered or untethered?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

Tethered but with a picture of untethered

Also, I can't think of a situation I'd be less stressed in than floating untethered in space.

Fuck that. So many criticality-one potential failures that will kill you.

Please just tether me daddy.
