The first thing that John Glenn did that went down into history was, he was the first American to ever orbit the Earth. At that time two Americans had already been sent into space but none of them had orbited the Earth. The “Mercury Seven” launched on February 20, 1962. John Glenn renamed the group of astronauts to “Friendship 7”. They orbited the Earth 3 times. It took them about five hours, and it proved that the spacecraft was successful, and it helped NASA learn more. Then later on in John Glenn’s life in 1998 he announced his second flight. It was 36 years after his first flight. It was the longest time between any two space flights ever. NASA wanted John Glenn to be in this flight, because they wanted to see/study how space affects the elderly.

They flew on a STS-95 mission of the space shuttle Discovery. That flight made John Glenn the oldest man to ever fly into space, at the age of…
