CAN'T SMOKE IN SPACE, BUT.....On this day in 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth—circling the globe three times over the course of almost five hours. His space capsuleFriendship 7 landed safely in the Atlantic Ocean some 800 miles from Bermuda’s coast, though as a precautionary measure he had carried a note that read, in several languages, “I am a stranger. I come in peace. Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.” In 1998, Glenn again made history by becoming the oldest person to fly in space as a crew member of the Discovery space shuttle. Of that first flight, Glenn had few words: “I don’t know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets.” Glenn died this past December at the age of 95.

Think about this also: You now have more computing power in your smartphone then they had for this launch (but yet, we are seemingly getting dumber).
