Tonight's topic is a Special Encore Presentation of a previous Friday Insomniac-Net.
As many of you may know, the former American astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn died yesterday at age of 95 in Columbus, Ohio (more here).
Accordingly, we would like to honor Glenn's passing by revisiting: "STS-95 -- Around the World in 134 Passes",
God's Speed, John!

In 1962 on this day in history (53 years ago) -- January 20 -- John Glenn became the first American Astronaut to orbit the earth.
LW remembers watching the launch and recovery of Mercury Capsule 13 -- nicknamed Friendship 7 -- on TV.
Some thirty-six years later and five miles away from (KSC) Launch Pad 39B, LW viewed the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery (Mission STS-95) -- with John Glenn aboard -- on October 29, 1998.
Perhaps you, too, might remember seeing or hearing about these spectacular American space flights.
Accordingly, for tonight's 3 questions, we wonder how much do you know about John Glenn's two adventures into space?
So, please choose from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each questions listed below.
Good Luck and remember YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
Question #1: In 1962, John Glenn's orbits on Friendship 7 were actually lower and faster than those on Discovery (STS-95). So, how long was Glenn's flight on Friendship 7?
A. nearly 1.5 hours (or 88 minutes), or
B. nearly 5 hours, or
C. nearly 11.5 hours
A. 2, or
B. 3, or
C. 7
A. True, or
B. False

“That was sure a short day.”
“Say again, Friendship 7.”
“That was about the shortest day I’ve ever run into.”
“Time passes rapidly, eh?”
“Yes Sir.”
