[i]Glenn does recall that someone from NASA threatened to pull him off the flight as a result. But here is where his account and the show parts ways. The series shows the other astronauts refusing to fill Glenn's seat, leaving NASA with no other option than Glenn. Glenn, however, recounted it differently in his memoir published in 1999. "I said that if they wanted [to replace me], they'd have a press conference to announce their decision and I would have one to announce mine, and if they wanted to talk about it anymore, they'd have to wait until I took a shower. When I came back, they were gone and I never heard any more about it."[/i]
