RIP John and condolences to your family and friends. I still remember the thrill everyone felt when he first journeyed into space.

Yet another household name exits the stage.
Must be getting old.
Condolences to all who were close to him. R.I.P. John Glenn.
Commiserations to others who watched from a distance, like me.

Very sad but he had fulfilled a great deal during his lifetime and left a legacy of achievements that will go down in history.
