A foto acima mostra o astronauta John H. Glenn Jr., vestindo a roupa pressurizada da Mercury, no Cabo Canveral, na Flórida, durante as atividades de treinamento pre-voo para a missão Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6). Glenn foi o primeiro americano a fazer um voo na órbita da Terra, no dia 20 de Fevereiro de 1962. Lançado desde o Launch Complex 14, em Cabo Canaveral, na Flórida, ele completou com sucesso uma missão de 3 órbitas ao redor da Terra, alcançando uma altura máxima de 162 milhas e uma velocidade orbital de 17500 milhas por hora. A sonda Mercury “Friendship 7” de Glenn pousou a aproximadamente 800 milhas a sudeste de Cabo Canaveral, nas vizinhanças da Ilha Grand Turk. A duração da missão, do lançamento até o pouso foi de 4 horas, 55 minutos, e 23 segundos. Hoje, esse pioneiro da astronáutica completa 93 anos e vamos todos mandar um salve e um parabéns para ele, ele merece!!!
