I heard on the news yesterday that he was in the hospital. Condolences to friends and family.
Very sad day indeed. May he RIP
RIP, a very good man. A very good life.
Wow very sad to hear!! A TRUE American legend!! RIP
Sorry to hear this, but he made it very far...
I was quite young when those early flights flew. I remember my mother baking a cake to celebrate the successful launches. Good memories from a long time ago. My condolences.
Amazing that a man that has lived his kind of life made it to 95.
I think he even had a heart condition early on.
You will never see a generation equivalent to these folks.

RIP JG. A good man and a class act.

I agree, no generation will even come close.

I don't know how anyone could aspire to be or do anything more.
A life perfectly lived.

I actually met him back in 98. I was on a Braniff Airlines flight from D.C. to San Antonio and he was sitting in the row in front of me. We talked for a bit, very nice gentleman!
Rip...
Rip...
God Speed John Glenn!

Yes, he was the oldest of the Original 7 (37 when selected for astronaut training) but the longest-lived as well.
It's amazing that he was able to make that 2nd space flight in '98 at age 77.
