An American legend and hero. Thank you for your service to our country.

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket man.


"Zero G and I feel fine." - John Glenn
 
I know it's said around here in jest all the time, but he really is a Goddamn American Treasure.


RIP. John Glenn
 
I have never written that in jest.

So long, John Glenn. We hardly knew ye. Godspeed.
 
Anybody that has the balls to be the first American to strap themselves to a gigantic somewhat tested rocket to fling themselves out of the Earth is alright in my book.
