John Glenn

John Glenn was a NASA astronaut who became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft. He was part of the Mercury Seven, a group of astronauts selected for the United States' first human spaceflight program. The successful mission cemented Glenn's status as a national hero.

John Glenn did not land on the moon. He was the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20, 1962, in the Mercury-Atlas 6 Friendship 7 spacecraft. The moon landing was achieved by the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as the first humans to set foot on the moon.

John Glenn landed in the Atlantic Ocean after orbiting the Earth in his Friendship 7 spacecraft on February 20, 1962. He splashed down approximately 800 miles southeast of Bermuda.

John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20, 1962, when he flew the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission for NASA.

John Glenn traveled to outer space twice, setting multiple records both times. On his first trip he became the first American to orbit the Earth, and on his second trip, while serving as a US Senator, he became the oldest person to travel to space.

John Glenn went into space as part of the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission in 1962 to become the first American to orbit the Earth. The mission was a significant milestone in the United States' space program and helped advance scientific research and exploration of space. Glenn's mission was also a demonstration of American technological and astronautical prowess during the Cold War.

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. In October 1998, Senator Glenn returned to space at the age of 77 aboard the space shuttle Discovery.

With any question like this, an investigator's first stop should be eBay. Currently there are several photos as described ranging in price from about $10 to $500 or so. Condition and contents of the picture are important. The market will set the price, as always. Any collectable is only worth what someone else will give for it.

The value of an original John Glenn autographed 8 x 11 photo from 1962 can vary depending on the condition of the autograph, the demand for John Glenn memorabilia, and whether it comes with a certificate of authenticity. It could range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars at auction. It's recommended to have it appraised by a reputable dealer or auction house specializing in memorabilia.

John Glenn (1921-2016) was a Marine fighter pilot, a test pilot, an astronaut, and a US Senator from Ohio. He was the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth (1962) and the oldest astronaut to fly in space (Space Shuttle 1998, age 77).

He was born 6/18/1921 and was in the Marines from 1943 to 1965. His medals were the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal, the World War II Victory Medal and 4 Service Medals (and later the Naval Aviator Astronaut Wings). He flew in combat in World War II and the Korean War.

After several years as a test pilot, he was one of the first 7 astronauts selected in 1959. On February 20, 1962, he became the third American to fly into space, and the first to orbit the Earth, completing three orbits in his Mercury capsule, the Friendship 7. He retired from NASA in 1964 at the age of 42.

He was elected to the US Senate in 1974 and served until 1999. During his final term, he became the third sitting member of Congress to fly into space, aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-95, an 8-day flight aboard Discovery in late 1998.

He lived in cambridge,Ohio. He grew up in New Concord,Ohio

He orbited Earth three times on 20 February 1962 in the capsule Friendship 7. After serving as the Senator from Ohio from 1974 until 1998 and unsuccessfully seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 he returned to orbit in 1998 on the space shuttle Discovery.

he is the only astnot to go in space 2 times the first time he went to the moon John Glenn was the first AMERICAN man to orbit in space. However, the Russians beat the Americans to it by 10 months. He has also made space history again when he went back into space in 1998. At this point in time, he was already around 76 or 77 years old- thus he is the oldest man ever to go in space. Why? He was a participant in an 'experiment' to test the effects going into space has on an aging person. (It had been discovered that going into space showed signs of premature aging). All of this information is accurate and taken from many other accurate resources. I hope this helped

Yes he has two children and two adult grandsons, as far as can be determined.

John Glenn was 95 years old when he died on December 8, 2016.

I don't have access to specific content from the book "John Glenn: A Memoir" in Holt McDougal's 6th-grade book. However, it likely covers John Glenn's life, achievements, and contributions to space exploration. You can refer to the book itself for specific details and answers to any questions you may have.

John Glenn was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses for his military service as a pilot during World War II and the Korean War.

Former NASA astronaut and U.S. Senator from Ohio John Glenn was born in Cambridge, Ohio on July 18, 1921. He died on December 8, 2016 at age 95.

John Glenn is considered an American hero because of his significant contributions to space exploration and his legacy as the first American to orbit the Earth. His record-setting spaceflight in 1962 not only advanced the understanding of space but also inspired a generation of Americans. Glenn's bravery, determination, and patriotism have made him an iconic figure in American history.

Well,John Glenn was an astronaut. He was born on July 18,1921 in Cambridge,Ohio. He was interested in Science.He flew 149 combat missions! He was also the senator of Ohio! He was also the oldest man to fly into space!

John Herschel Glenn, Jr. and his wife Annie had two children, John David Glenn (born 1945) and Carolyn Ann Glenn (born 1947, aka Carolyn Glenn Freedman). Reportedly there are two grandsons, but no public information regarding them. Either of the Glenns' children could be grandparents themselves.
