hell of an answer...
i think whats more interesting is the picture behind him
its of the STS-49, first and only 3 person space walk
Pierre Thuot, Rick Hieb, and Tom Akers, basically wrestled a 4,000+ kg satellite in microgravity while the shuttle flew formation with it at ~17,500 mph over Earth. That's like doing delicate neurosurgery on a motorcycle at highway speed.
STS-49, hubble space telescope was about to be written off as a billion dollar blurry mistake, and also the debut mission of space shuttle endeavour
STS-49 is the moment humans proved we could chase something already in space, grab it with our hands, fix it, and send it on its way and do it under pressure, with no backup plan.
i remember the blurry pictures and them attempting to fix it as a kid, but i didn't remember the 3 person space walk
