EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the launch of the Atlas Rocket carrying the Mercury Space Capsule with astronaut John Glenn aboard, as it blasts off from Cape Kennedy on February 20, 1962. Glenn, the third American in space and the first to orbit the Earth, is seen here making history in the Friendship 7 spacecraft. The towering rocket, a symbol of human achievement and the dawn of space travel, transports Glenn on an incredible journey around our planet. The support team at the Kennedy Space Center, a part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), watches in awe as the rocket ascends into the sky, marking a pivotal moment in space exploration. Glenn's orbit around Earth lasted for nearly five hours, and his courage and determination inspired generations to reach for the stars. This photograph is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the limitless potential of space travel.
