John Glenn

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 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

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.
