FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

• Glenn left Nasa in 1964 because he was not being given another
flight. He later learned it was President John F Kennedy himself who’d
grounded him. “There was so much national attention, I suppose it would
have been bad if something had happened on a second flight,” Glenn said.

• Glenn finally got a second flight in 1998, as a member of a
space shuttle crew. Then 77, he was a research subject for National
Institutes of Health-sponsored experiments on aging.

• Glenn spent 25 years as a Democratic senator from Ohio and ran
for US president in 1984. He left the Senate in 1999.

• Glenn and Scott Carpenter are the only two of the original
Mercury Seven astronauts who are still alive.
