John Glenn, the all-American astronaut and senator who rocketed into history on flights 36 years apart as the first American to orbit the Earth and the oldest person in space, died Thursday, Dec. 8 at age 95.
"We are saddened by the loss of Sen. John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. A true American hero. Godspeed, John Glenn," NASA tweeted immediately after his death was anounced.

Sad. Rest in Peace pioneer.
John, you were one of my first heroes in my life, along with Alan Shepard. Big fan of our now defunct space program. Godspeed, my hero; you will be reborn again, and will continue your efforts in this next life. Welcome to 2007!
True American hero.
RIP.
