The article linked here was a little dry, but definitely worth reading.

The Right Stuff indeed.

I think I'll pop in my DVD of "The Right Stuff" and watch it tonight.

The last of the old breed of men. I fear we'll never see their like again. :(

"Zero G and I feel fine"........RIP.

Also remember there's guys just as brave and just as awesome floating up there right now. Reagan's Challenger speech still resonates to this day......we consistently become blase about space travel until someone dies....then it's OMG this is dangerous. It's ALWAYS dangerous. Whether they're the first person in space or the 500th they belong to a group that commands our respect.

Didn't know this aspect of Mr. Glenn. The man was a bad ass in the best possible way. :D
