Whoosh! Now that John Glenn has set a new record as the oldest person in space, it's time to reflect on his many other achievements. As a test pilot, he broke cross-country speed records; as part of the Mercury program, he was the first American to orbit the earth.The latter story is well-told in Godspeed, John Glenn, using interviews with reporters, Mercury astronauts, Glenn, and his family, as well as footage from the launches and even within the capsule as Glenn orbited. The many failures and explosions of Atlas rockets made the launch extremely risky, and a loose heat shield made reentry even riskier, but through it all Glenn maintained his calm and his sense of humor. From his early days in World War II to the tense launch and orbit, his life is captured vividly by the filming and Walter Cronkite's masterful narration. It's easy to see why Glenn is a national hero. --Rob Lightner
