New York Times article and video interview here.Aged 90 and married to his high-school sweethart for 69 years now, John Glenn just sold his Beech Baron last year, but still holds a valid pilot's license.When asked about how it felt to be sitting in the Mercury capsule atop the Atlas stack, he jokingly answered: How would you feel sitting on top of two million parts built on a government contract that went to the lowest bidder?Cheers,- jahman.PS: Now for a rememory of The Right Stuff, I'll fire-up the X-15 from Xtreme Prototypes and take her for a spin.
