A century ago Sunday (July 18), a future American hero was born.
Had he still been with us, John Glenn would today be turning 100. Such an amazing life, and he thoroughly and rightly deserves his place in the history books.

NASA has created a timeline of John Glenn's life as a tribute to his 100th birthday. The agency also posted this video:
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson joined author Jeff Shesol for a discussion on the life of the late U.S. senator and former astronaut John Glenn during a virtual panel that aired on NASA Television's Public Channel and the agency's website. Glenn Center Director Dr. Marla Pérez-Davis and acting Chief Historian Dr. Brian Odom gave opening remarks at the event.
