John H. Glenn, 1921-2016 Time and Life magazine covers circa 1962 and 1998. One pair covered the flight of Friendship 7, the other, STS-95.
My first NASA internship was at @nasa‘s Glenn Research Center so the news of John Glenn's passing hits hard. Glenn was the 1st American to orbit Earth and 5th human in space. He also served in the Korean War, was one of the "Mercury Seven" (NASA Military test pilot) and was a US Senator from Ohio. Glenn has done tremendous things for the advancement of human spaceflight. Thanks for your service John Glenn!
