We are deeply saddened to hear that John Glenn passed away today. As one of the first NASA astronauts, Glenn completed the Friendship 7 mission on February 20, 1962 to become the first American to ever orbit out planet. More than three decades later in 1998, at 77 years of age, he become the oldest person in space when he flew on Discovery mission STS-95. /// “If there is one thing I’ve learned in my years on this planet, it’s that the happiest and most fulfilled people are those who devote themselves to something bigger and more profound than their own self-interest.” - John Glenn (at NASA - Cape Canaveral, Florida)
