John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth on February 20, 1962. He rode in a Mercury capsule dubbed Friendship 7, launched atop an Atlas rocket at 9:47 AM EST.
Next Tuesday is the 45th anniversary of Glenn’s flight, and at 9:47 AM Glenn himself will talk about the flight at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI), 333 West Broad Street, here in Columbus, Ohio.
The event is called “Friendship 2007: A Conversation with John Glenn.” Tickets are required, but they’re free. They must be picked up at the John Glenn School of Public Affairs, room 350 Page Hall, 1810 College Road, on the Ohio State University campus. The phone number is (614) 292-4545.
