Godspeed, John Glenn.
My hero -- and the hero of millions of guys my age. In 1962 he was G.I. Joe, Thor, George Washington, John Wayne, and Sky King, all rolled into one real-life human being.
But that had all changed by the time he left Congress.
I agree. I wish he had stuck with aviation and space flight.

Back in his day, the only way to "cash in" on his fame was to become a politician -- which was an honorable profession, back then.
