John Herschel Glenn, Jr. (born July 18, 1921), (Col, USMC, Ret.), is a former Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut, and United States senator. He was selected as one of the "Mercury Seven" group of military test pilots selected in 1959 by NASA to become America's first astronauts and fly the Project Mercury spacecraft. On February 20, 1962, Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission and became the first American to orbit the Earth and the fifth person in space, after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov and the sub-orbital flights of Mercury astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. Glenn is the earliest-born American to go to orbit, and the second earliest-born man overall after Soviet cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy. Glenn received the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990. With the death of Scott Carpenter on October 10, 2013, Glenn became the last surviving member of the Mercury Seven.
Glenn resigned from NASA on January 16, 1964, and the next day announced plans to run for a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio. But injury from a bathtub concussion caused him to withdraw from the race in March. He retired from the Marine Corps on January 1, 1965. A member of the Democratic Party, he finally won election to the Senate in 1974 and served through January 3, 1999. With the death of Edward Brooke on January 3, 2015, Glenn became the oldest living former United States Senator.

Plot: The making of the motion picture "The Right Stuff", focusing on the visual effects and other post-production, the premiere and disappointing box-office (caused by misidentification with John Glenn's presidential campaign), and the film's enduring legacy.

Plot: Tom Wolfe's book on the history of the U.S. Space program reads like a novel, and the film has that same fictional quality. It covers the breaking of the sound barrier by Chuck Yeager to the Mercury 7 astronauts, showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or how to select people to be in it. Thrilling, funny, charming and electrifying all at once.

I put a lot of time and effort into this project (audio alone was about two days), so please Like, Fav, and Share with the rest of the world. Marine John Glenn Moto Speech: "I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I fought through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook. It was my life that was on the line. This was not a 9-to-5 job where I took time to take the daily casualties from the fight. I ask you to go with me as I went the other day to a Veterans Hospital and look those men with their mangled bodies in the eye and tell them they didn't hold a job. You go with me to any Gold Star mother, and you look her in the eye and tell her that her son did not hold ...
"If there is one thing I've learned in my years on this planet, it's that the happiest and most fulfilled people I've known are those who devoted themselves to something bigger and more profound than merely their own self interest." — John Glenn John Glenn uttered those words on Oct. 3, 1997, the day he announced that he was donating his personal and Senate papers and other artifacts to The Ohio State University. He said he chose Ohio State because he wanted to create a place that would stimulate young people's enthusiasm for public service rather than establish a museum that focused only on his own accomplishments and legacy. Glenn today continues his focus on a greater sense of purpose, telling graduates in his 2009 keynote address at OSU's Spring Commencement Ceremony, that "we a...

La vida me ha permitido entrevistar a más de 35 Astronautas, de los cuales el 60% han preferido guardar las experiencias de avistamientos ovni para sus memorias. Sin embargo existe el otro grueso de Astronautas Honestos, como : Gordon Cooper ( El famoso Mirlo Rojo de Juan José Benítez) Story Musgrave, Franklin Chan Díaz, Buzz Aldrin, Harrison Smith y muchos otros que han preferido hablar la verdad, pues eso dice mucho de ellos. Aquí mi tributo a uno de ellos....John Glenn

NASA documentary about the early space programs of the United States, focusing on the orbital manned flight of John Glenn aboard the Mercury capsule Friendship 7, launched by an Atlas rocket. Background information about this mission is available from http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/history/mercury/ma-6/ma-6.htm Mission Objective: Place a man into earth orbit, observe his reactions to the space environment and safely return him to earth to a point where he could be readily found. The Mercury flight plan during the first orbit was to maintain optimum spacecraft attitude for radar tracking and communication checks.

In late December 1968, the Apollo 8 crew of Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to leave Earth and journey to another world. They spent 20 hours orbiting the Moon, and then made the flight back home. In lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, the crew delivered to a world audience a moving TV broadcast in which they read from the Book of Genesis. During the mission, the three astronauts witnessed something no other human had ever seen--Earth rising over the lunar surface. Captured on camera, this image has become one of the most well-known of the last forty years. Apollo 8's success paved the way for Apollo 11, the first human landing on the Moon. All three astronauts shared stories about their careers and the Apollo 8 mission in this program, recorded on November...
