John Herschel Glenn Jr. was an American aviator, engineer, astronaut, and United States Senator from Ohio. In 1962 he became the first American to orbit the Earth, circling three times.
Among those honoring Glenn were President Barack Obama, who said that Glenn, "the first American to orbit the Earth, reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there's no limit to the heights we can reach together." President Obama has ordered all flags half staff until his interment.
John Glenn was a total badass. These facts prove it.
