Thirty-six years ago, John Glenn made history when he stapped himself into a nine-by-seven foot capsule atop an experimental rocket and became the first American to orbit the Earth. Unlike most astronauts, he never got the opportunity for a second flight. Recently he asked NASA if he could fly again to conduct Space-based research on aging, but only if he met the agency's physical and mental requirements NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin responded by telling the public that "Not only is John Glenn a Marine test pilot, an astronaut, and the first American to orbit the Earth, he brings a unique blend of experience to NASA. He has flight, operational, and policy experience. He is part of the NASA family, an American hero, and he has the right stuff for this mission." |
