Glenn's Friendship 7capsule circled the planet three times.A faulty equipment led Glenn to believe the capsule might burn up on its return to Earth,but in the end it splashed down safely in the Atlantic Ocean.He became the first American to orbit Earth in a spaceship.
In 1984,Glenn ran for president,but he did not get enough support and dropped out of the race.Glenn returned to space on October 29,1998,when he was 77.He spent nine days on the space shuttle Discovery.Glenn went so that scientists could the effects of space travel on older people.He holds the record for being the oldest person in space.Glenn died Thursday,Dec,8,2016,at the age of 95.
