Relive John Glenns historic ride into space. On February 20, 1962, John Glenn sat strapped into Friendship 7, a small capsule on top of a giant rocket. People from all over the world waited for Mission Controls countdown to lift-off. When the rocket blasted off at Cape Canaveral, Florida, fellow astronaut Scott Carpenter radioed the message "Godspeed, John Glenn." John Glenn had been sent into outer space to become the first American astronaut to orbit the earth. Bold illustrations and informative sidebars tell the story of this remarkable adventure.
