The reason that he had the experimental propulsion Jet Pack was that he was testing it on his last spacewalk before retiring. There was conversation about him maybe breaking Anatoli's spacewalk record but Houston advised him that he would not break the record.Ā 

Gravity was great!...does anyone know why George Clooney's character was the only one with a jet pack?...if I remember right {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 19:31

I think there is... second gary Oct 05, 19:34

I didn't catch that {nm} GMov Oct 05, 19:37

I wouldn't want to place a bet, but... second gary Oct 05, 19:41

Sandra is a mission specalist,Clooney an astronaut. Different skill sets. {nm} werewolf123 Oct 05, 21:18

I thought... RogerMore Oct 05, 20:20

Ahh, yes, I think roger is correct {nm} GMov Oct 05, 20:37

maybe...but can't they have both the tether and the jet pack?...in case of emergency {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:37

ahh...I just looked at a pic of a jet pack (MMU) and the controls would get in the way while you're working on the shuttle {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:39

but my wife said: "I still wouldn't go out there unless they gave me both a tether & a jet pack!" :D {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:41

Your wife worries too much. What's the worst that could happen? :P {nm} Bubba_Fett Oct 06, 04:37

Yep, it's a big bulky piece of equipment that would reduce your mobility {nm} RogerMore Oct 05, 20:42

There is certainly that dialogue, i.e., about the panel Ryan is working on being new, and her area of expertise, but... second gary Oct 05, 20:44

Yes, Clooney was specifically testing out that jetpack. He made a point of thanking engineering before he tried to tell one of his stories {nm} BSmurf Oct 05, 21:33

i'd like to point out that if they had multiple jet pacs, there wouldn't be a movie {nm} Moviesnob Oct 05, 21:15

yup...but I wanted to see if that was the only reason for it {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 21:17

The way I interpreted it was that Clooney was the only "true" astronaut. The others were specialists. {nm} MiyazakiFan Oct 05, 21:16

thanks everyone! {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 22:04

Give George a Call - see if he can get you the mini-Jet-Pack that would fit under a Sharks Jersey. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 05, 22:47
