Article Abstract:
Senator John Glenn was chosen to become a part of the Mercury space team in 1959. It is natural to feel aprehensive about heading into unknown space territory. The antidote for facing fears in space exploration or in daily life is preparation. The February 1962 flight was a natural extension of the test flying career. The primary goal of the space program is to obtain medical and technological benefits for everyone.
