God Speed John Glenn
A L O H A !
“We are our own dragons
and our own heroes.
We must rescue ourselves
from ourselves.”
Peter S. Beagle
"On February 20, 1962,
Glenn flew the Friendship 7
mission and became the
first American to orbit the Earth
and the fifth person in space,
after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and
Gherman Titov and the
sub-orbital flights of Mercury
astronauts Alan Shepard
and Gus Grissom. "
I was 8.
We watched it in school.
The future was happening
and we were to be part of it!
JFK was US President.
I had a Mercury Capsule
pencil sharpener.
and our own heroes.
We must rescue ourselves
from ourselves.”

“Heroes know that things
must happen when it is
time for them to happen.
A quest may not simply
be abandoned; unicorns
may go unrescued for
a long time, but
not forever; a happy
ending cannot come
in the middle
of the story.”
Peter S. Beagle
