orbits in four hours and 55 minutes) aboard Friendship 7. On
October 29, 1998, 36 years later, U.S. Senator John H. Glenn, Jr. of Ohio
returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, spending nine
days and orbiting the Earth 134 times. The 77-year-old's presence on the mission
helped scientists study the effects of space on the aging process. His return to
space is commemorated on a 33-cent U.S. stamp issued in 2000. Glenn retired from
the U.S. Senate in 1999 after serving 24 years. Fold creases not at signature.
