    Yes.............a hero for sure...............with a fulfilled life.

    The first American to orbit the Earth has died. John Glenn was the last surviving member of the original Mercury astronauts.
    He would later have a long political career as a U.S. senator, but that didn't stop his pioneering ways.
    Glenn made history a second time in 1998, when he flew aboard the shuttle Discovery to become the oldest person to fly in space.
    Born in 1921, Glenn was 95 years old.

    John Glenn came to my high school back in 1988 or89. I wasn't going to go because it after school and I had things to do. But at that time I was really into astronomy/space travel/NASA and so forth so I went. Very informative about space travel he also talked about being a senator as well.
