John Glenn, the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth in space, has passed at age 95.
A great space pioneer.

Rest in Peace, John. You were and inspiration to many who followed you.

Astronaut and 4 term US Senator, RIP John Glenn. He definitely had the right stuff, at 77 He went back into space, an amazing person.

John Glenn was also a Combat Vet serving in the US Marines in the Pacific during WWII and in Korea, plus He was a Test Pilot.

The HP has an article on John Glenn here.

I was there at Cape Canaveral when he was launched into orbit. He had quite a full life. R.I.P. John Glenn.
