Back when men were men, not easily offended little snowflakes with personal hygiene issues.
I hate to be a stick in the mud, but Glenn was very anti-gun and in the late 60's was instrumental in the gun control act of 1968.(i think) Not the worst anti-gun law by far, but still.
Great astronaut,
RIP
“If there is one thing I’ve learned in my years on this planet, it’s that the happiest and most fulfilled people I’ve known are those who devoted themselves to something bigger and more profound than merely their own self-interest.“
~ John Glenn (1921 - 2016)
I'm waiting for the PC crowd to dishonor him, for making the special snowflakes feel inadequate.

God Bless him. That is a great way to live a life. With gusto!
There passes a real hero, a man with a bucket-list which will never be equalled.
Go peacefully into that dark night John Glenn. The World remembers you.
