John Glenn was one of the first seven astronauts in NASA's space program.

John Glenn orbited the Earth three times in 1962.

Glen, do you think people will ever set foot on Mars?" "Shirley, one of the obstacles besides the exorbitant cost is the radiation in space. Astronauts need shielding. We still don't have the technology."

Glenn has two friends who are women.

John Glenn was selected as one of seven Project Mercury astronauts in 1959. In February of 1962, he became the first American to orbit Earth.

Senator Glenn and his wife, Annie, have two children and two grandchildren.

What's the point of people going into space, Glen?" "Shirley, it's life insurance. If all the eggs are in one basket, as on our Earth, it's risky. We need people out in superstructures in space, on colonies on moons, and on colonies on planets."

Glenn just locked eyes with me!

That glen was beautiful on a calm day.

Shirley, some speculate that instead of space vessels, it may be teleportation as the way to go into space." "Miraculous, Glen."
