EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a significant moment in American space history. Dated January 1962, it showcases the brave US astronaut John Glenn being evacuated from the Mercury capsule Friendship 7 during a sea-landing simulation before his groundbreaking space flight. Glenn's mission would go on to make him the first American to orbit the Earth. In this square, vertical image, we see Glenn suspended mid-air as he is carefully lifted by a helicopter. The intense training and preparation required for such an extraordinary journey are evident in his focused expression and determined stance. This photograph serves as a testament to human courage and resilience in the face of unknown frontiers. Fast forward several decades later, at age 77, John Glenn defied all odds once again when he became the oldest person ever to venture into space. A US senator at that time, he embarked on this remarkable journey aboard the space shuttle Discovery on October 29th. The significance of this photo lies not only in its historical context but also in capturing an individual who pushed boundaries and inspired generations with his unwavering spirit of exploration. AFP PHOTO/NASA has perfectly encapsulated this awe-inspiring moment through their lens - reminding us that our thirst for discovery knows no bounds.
