Godspeed To John Glenn

By Jesse Cook. Unfortunately, former astronaut and United States senator John Glenn has embarked on his final journey: one with no return. He flew 2 historic space missions for NASA: Mercury-Atlas 6 in 1962, where he became the second American in space, fifth person in space, and the first American to orbit the Earth, and STS-95 in 1998, where he became the oldest human in space.
