I've always been fascinated with the American and Russian space programs. Especially the early days with the guys who left the planet on a ship driven by less computing power than a pocket calculator. John Glenn, one of the first of these men, has passed on. God bless you John, nota great senator but a top class human being. @denilson200
Rest in peace
The Shuttle Commander for the last mission to space John Glenn went on STS-95 is a family friend and we were invited down for that launch which was STAR STUDDED. Evander Holyfield, Ted Williams, Steven Tyler, and a whole load of others were there to see John Glenn off on that mission.
Hopefully when NASA goes back to being involved in space exploration instead of being a Muslim outreach group :vd: they will name one of the new shuttles after Senator Glenn.
God speed sir
Dude absolutely fascinating you attended. Damn you met my sport hero teddy ballgame Williams. The splendid splinterQuote:
