RIP John Glenn

True American hero lost. WWII and Korea veteran, Test Pilot, Astronaut, 1st American to orbit Earth, US Senator, and went back into space on the shuttle at age 77! If that's not a bad ass, I don't know who is. Godspeed Colonel Glenn!

YUP!!!
During the Mercury days these guys were sitting on top of a de-weaponize missile!!
 
I was a kid living adjacent to Langley AFB/Nasa when the Mercury Seven were training there...they made a profound difference on me...
