John Glenn archives provide vivid memories of senator, Ohio

In 1999, senator and astronaut John Glenn donated his congressional papers to The Ohio State University. Many of his personal documents were donated as well, including notes from his 1998 flight on the Space Shuttle Discovery Mission STS-95, which made him the oldest person to fly in outer space at the age of 77 (William Shatner now holds this record, having gone to space in 2021 at age 82).
