To say that John Glenn was a pioneer would be a massive understatement.

Famed astronaut, aviator and former Ohio Senator John Glenn has died at the towering age of 95. Living a full life by taking big risks by venturing into outer space resulted in a big legacy that will not be soon forgotten. Mr. Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth, as well as being one of the first people in space (#5).

He will be missed and celebrated as an American space-race icon.

Plus, we all remember his hilarious cameo on Frasier. 

A great man, on Earth and in space.

RIP John Glenn.
