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. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

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. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |
