I don't think anyone will object to another John Glenn photo of the week. Here he is enjoying the view during his second spaceflight, STS-95 in October 1998. "Zero G and I feel fine."

A great photo of a true legend.
I am in awe of all that John Glenn achieved, particularly his return to space at the age of 77.

I guess he felt he was travelling "1st Class" after being inside the cramped Mercury capsule! A truly inspirational figure and gentleman!

Superb image! At an age of 77 years, onboard STS-95 (25th flight of Discovery) still the oldest human to conduct a spaceflight mission...

I witnessed this launch at the Cape. I think I was as excited as he was. A true legend... a true gentleman... a true American.
