in the Atlantic Ocean, 800 miles southeast of the Bermuda.
John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, did not land on the moon. He orbited Earth on February 20, 1962, during the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. The first successful manned moon landing was achieved by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. Glenn later returned to space on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998, becoming the oldest person to fly in space.
NASA astronaut John Glenn's February 20, 1962 flight splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean after circling the earth three times.
The first space capsule to land in the Pacific Ocean was NASA's Mercury capsule, Friendship 7, which returned to Earth on February 20, 1962. Piloted by astronaut John Glenn, it completed three orbits around the Earth before splashing down in the Pacific near the Bahamas. This marked a significant milestone in the U.S. space program and showcased the feasibility of human spaceflight.
President John F. Kennedy issued the challenge to the United States space program to land a man on the moon in the 1960s.
The space shuttle as we term it has never landed on the moon and never will. The shuttle cannot leave Low Earth Orbit. Lunar landings have been done by capsules - or containers - that had very limited propulsion of their own and were part of yet another larger assemblage of equipment or landing modules. They were brought to orbit as part of yet another space vehicle. Not all of the landing module returned to orbit, and not all of what returned to orbit returned to Earth.

Glen Oliver has written: 'Our land is broad'
He returned to Earth in a space capsule that parachuted into the ocean, the capsule was then quickly recovered by the US Navy.
He WENT TO Canaan.
The first shuttle that went into space was the Space Shuttle Columbia. It made a total of 28 missions. The shuttle was commanded by pilot John Young who was the first one to land it as well.

Prsident John Kennedy started the space mission to land a man on the moon and to bring him back safely,The Apollo mission.
mountain, hill, and any other high area of land
President John F. Kennedy challenged the United States to have a man land on the moon and to take a leadership role in the "space race."
you can't "land" in space... space is a vacuum, nothingness, a void... you could land on another planetary body, but not in space
