As with most astronauts, Glenn chose to apply to become an astronaut because space was the next logical step in his flying career. He'd already flown faster and higher than all but a handful of pilots. At the time the Original 7 were chosen, there was also fierce competetion with the Soviet Union. All of the Mercury astronauts were very patriotic. They all wanted to do their part to beat the Soviets into space.

You use the & operator. So you could have something like a field for a firstname and a field for a surname that you want to bring together with a space between them. You could do it like this: Firstname & " " & Surname

In a database what is a field width?
It is the amount of space that you want to allow for some data. Different kinds of data will take more space than others, so you should define how much space is needed. So if you had a field for Gender, then the values would be Male or Female. So a maximum of 6 letters is needed, so you could specify that as the field width. If you set it larger than that you would be allocating space that was not needed, and you would be wasting space. For other things, like names or address lines, you would need more space than for your gender field, so you would set them to have more space. Some fields have their widths automatically set, like date fields, so you don't need to specify anything.
Did John Glenn's wife refuse to see vice president Johnson?
This was a scene in a movie The Right Stuff (1983), which was based on a 1979 nonfiction book by Tom Wolfe. In the movie, Johnson shows up at Glenn's house while he is preparing to orbit the Earth in Friendship 7, but his wife, who has a stutter, doesn't want to talk to him because it would be on TV. Johnson calls NASA, who ask Glenn to convince his wife to meet the president. Glenn gets on the phone and tells his wife he will back her up, and she shouldn't let the vice president in the house.

Would a magnetic compass be suitable to be used for space travel?
No. Magnetic compasses work based on the Earth's mantic field, in space there is no magnetic field for the compasses to work with. A different system, possibly similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) might work, call it the Universal Positioning System. On certain rocky planets it could work, but some planets don't have a magnetic field, like Mars. So a traditional magnetic compass wouldn't work in space, or at least it won't get you where you want to go.
