John Glenn

[stomachmonkey]

Not going to say RIP.

It would be an insult.

Resting is the last thing that man will do.

He's just off to his next big adventure.

Wow. Sad day.

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone...

One of a kind....RIP

Slightly modified - John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

High Flight!

Oh! He slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
He chased the shouting wind along, and flung
His eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
He topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind he trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
– Put out his hand, and touched the face of God.

God speed, John Glenn

Nearly 20 years after his WWII service as a marine fighter pilot, astronaut John Glenn grins outside his Friendship 7 capsule on February 20, 1962.

One of the Bravest Men on our Planet!
The World should lower their Flags for such a hero!

American badass at 22 years old .............

Growing near the cape, watching all of the early manned launches.
Dad working in the space industry, living some years down range.
All made me feel a part of what was happening. And in the public eye John Glenn was leading the way.

Quite the life, great admiration!

Cheers Richard
