It has been fifty years since John Glenn's first spaceflight. He is the first American to have orbited the Earth.
Col. Glenn is still with us, though he recently sold his Beechcraft Baron as it was getting too hard on his and his wife Anne's knees to get in and out of it.
Hard to believe that it's been fifty years.

And now if Americans go into space, it's on Russian birds. It must make his heart sad to see a once-great nation fallen so far.
