Back in the early '60s when I was in high school I found the address to subscribe to a little newspaper bulletin from the Space Center that was about four or five 8.5x11" pieces of paper stapled in the center and folded. Not a lot of material but it was professionally done and came at least once a month and was obviously from somebody in the know at the Space Center. It had B/W photos of the latest satellites and manned flights. Pictures and stories about the test faclilities. News about the administrators, etc. I forgot what the name of it was. It covered the early monkey flights as well as the Mercury, Gemini and early Apollo launches. I wish I'd kept them, but they're long gone.
The American astronauts were amongst my childhood heros. All the other kids at school hero-worshipped footballers or rock singers but with me it was the astronauts and the Battle of Britain fighter pilots.
Rest in peace.

Damn - Greg Lake was awesomeness
It seems they had different versions of the Treasury... did you play the "computer" game with the little boxes? I did not get going with computers until 1980 and although dutifully I made all the boxes, the logic of the Treasury was over my head. For those who aren't familiar with it, it was a desktop arts and crafts-y project that touched on computer programming. I knew what a computer database was because both Batman and Superman had them, in the early sixties, but this extension of that was beyond me.
Looks like some of the X-planes are on display in Museums - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_X-15#/media/File:North_American_X-15_National_Air_and_Space_Museum_photo_D_Ramey_Logan.jpg
What I remember most about John is his 1998 mission abord space shuttle as a payload specialist......hell of al lot saner and cooler as having a great grand child and a child at the age of 72.......to name an other example of gereatric fitness.
Greats, ArtisanS
Don't forget, Glenn flew many combat missions in the Pacific war and later in Korea.

Above is a sort of "Remembering my friend" write-up in the paper last week, penned by a fellow Ohio Democrat... sounds like Glenn was a good political friend willing to stick it out through thick and thin, no matter what.
