The first time I saw a Solar Eclipse was at O'Hare Airport in July 1963, in an era of science fiction, nuclear bombs and outer space aliens. I'm not sure the excitement is the same as today as then.
Correction: Glenn and Friendship 7 did not land on the moon in February 1962. In fact, the mission made Glenn the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth.
Yes you are right … John Glenn was the first astronaut to orbit the Earth (3 times).
Neil Armstrong was the first to land on the moon in 1969. The correction and error are noted in the updated column.
Thank you.
