On February 20, 1962, NASA astronaut John Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission becoming the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth circling the earth three times.
It was Scott Carpenter (given name Malcolm), who was the back-up pilot when Glenn blasted off to become the first American to orbit the Earth, February 20, 1962. Carpenter was still around 36 years later when the 77-year-old Glenn returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on October 29, 1998.
