Reading about John Glenn's life and a passage hit me very, very hard. All of the Mercury 7 are gone now.

Every day we lumber forward, I live with the fear that I will once again live in a world with no living humans that can claim to have walked on the surface of another world.

I actually don't think that will be the case; I believe that China is working on their own initiatives to put people on the Moon/Mars.

Somebody will do it. It might not be the US government, but somebody will.
