I met John Glenn when was 90. He was a great man, a scholar, and a great American.
Military Service: Glenn was a U.S. Marine Corps pilot who flew combat missions in both World War II and the Korean War.
Test Pilot: He became a highly respected test pilot, setting a transcontinental speed record in 1957 by flying from Los Angeles to New York in under 3.5 hours (“Project Bullet”).
NASA and Mercury Seven: In 1959, Glenn was selected as one of NASA’s original Mercury Seven astronauts.
First American to Orbit the Earth: On February 20, 1962, during the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission aboard Friendship 7, he became the first American to orbit the Earth — circling the globe three times.
Political Career: After retiring from NASA and the military, Glenn served as a U.S. Senator from Ohio for 24 years (1974–1999).
Return to Space: In 1998, at age 77, Glenn flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-95 mission), becoming the oldest person ever to fly in space.
The first man on the moon. Double hand cancelled First Day Issue. Stamped the day he walked on the moon and when he returned to Earth. Very cool unique historical item. Ticks a lot of boxes for me. History. Space. Collectibles. NASA. Unique. Astronaut. Slabbed authentic by PSA DNA. So cool to have conversation/museum pieces.
There will only be one ever first man to walk on the moon. Neil Armstrong was a great man and will be remembered in the annals of human history as such. Great, clean, bold autograph of this amazing man - authenticated by PSA DNA.
A cool triple auto of the Apollo 11 NASA astronaut team. Books, movies, history and legends have been written and told about this group of astronauts that changed the world. One of the two Neil Armstrong autographed items in my collection.
