What a wonderful man who lived a full live full of adventure. My favorite astronaut John Glenn, died Thursday (Dec. 8) at the age of 95, flew on two space missions during his long and eventful life. Both of them set records. On Feb. 20, 1962, Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth. On the second — the STS-95 mission of the space shuttle Discovery, which lifted off in October 1998 — he became, at 77, the oldest person to slip Earth's bonds. He performed the MECS experiment for my friend Dr. Dennis Morrison on STS-95, which is a cancer experiment being experimented at MD Anderson, Houston Texas for breast cancer. This gave me the idea to write my first novel AEROSPACE: The Last Payload about an aging astronaut going to space for the last chance of life on Earth. This book tackles the problem of what to do if an astronaut dies in space. Then came the sequel AEROSPACE: The King's Payload is about another adventure suspense novel surrounded by espionage and romance. I am now writing the trilogy AEROSPACE: The Rebirth Payload about having a baby in space. This book tackles the radiation problems in space, along with the many difficulties of unfriendly space.
John Glenn, my hero, goodbye and fair travels to the next adventure. You are truly missed along with the Space Shuttle. His last flight was STS-95 and he died at the age of 95. Ironic the numbers match.
