Historical Context:
John Glenn (1921–2016) was one of the most celebrated figures of the 20th century. As the pilot of Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962, he became the first American to orbit the Earth, completing three orbits and marking a major Cold War victory in the space race. Glenn later made history again in 1998 when he flew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-95) at age 77, becoming the oldest person to fly in space. Between his missions, Glenn served as a U.S. Senator from Ohio from 1974 to 1999, further cementing his legacy as a national icon. His signature on a U.S. dollar bill—a universal symbol of American commerce—adds powerful symbolism to this collectible, merging financial and scientific frontiers.
