A story about John Glenn
I met John Glenn While Doing A photo Shoot Where he was a key Speaker.
The first man to oribt the Earth and currently the oldest man to travel to space. He was also the senator of Ohio.
one of my first memories of the US space program was when John Glenn went into space the first time. I was so interested in what was happening then, that from that moment on I have always wanted to go into outer space.
One of my first memories as a kid that stays with me today is John Glenn’s Mercury mission. If you get a chance look inside the Mercury capsule, several are around the US in various museums—you’ll be struck how small and stark it is. It was like being shot into space in a tin can. What a life Lt. Col and Senator Glenn led and what a person that emerged from his ambition. Tom Wolfe was right. I beleive Senator Glenn has much to teach us about ambition, rising through fear and courage.
I wish I knew why I think this guy is top of cool. Oh well. Locating Friendship 7 in the Smithsonian museum is how I finally convinced myself to go there. I’m so weird.
