John Glenn has died
Sad news. My dad (a fast jet pilot) took us to Florida, from the UK, to watch him go up in 1998.<p>I didn't really know who he was at the time but it's not often I've seen my dad look up (no pun intended) to someone. Left an impression on me and is probably no small part of the reason my own 4 year old son was running round with a rocket and a model astronaut ("Tim Peake") this morning.<p>RIP.
