Glenn's Return To Space
0Last Thursday, 36 years after becoming the first American in orbit, 77-year-old John Glenn made a triumphant return to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. What do you think?
“This is a triumph, not just for the space program, but for all of America. It's too bad he's gonna die up there."

Todd Daley –

Mitch Hurd –
Geologist“USA! USA! US–! What? This is a naked P.R. ploy by NASA with little scientific significance and, as such, is a disgrace to the space program and an affront to taxpayers, who must foot the $500 million bill? USA! USA! USA!”
