First Photographs From Space

This picture of a picture from space was taken at the John and Annie Glenn Historic Site on Main Street in New Concord, Ohio.  A tour of the home identified many exhibits including the one in the photo.  Seems John Glenn, Jr wanted to be able to take a photo during his four (4) hours and fifty-five (55) minute flight in Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962 of which the Flight Director said No!  As one can read in the inscription however, John did get his wish!

  2. Not very many people told John Glenn "no", excluding Annie, of course. :-)
