In 1998, astronaut John Glenn returned to space aboard the shuttle Discovery at age 76. My brother Bob sent me a list of the Top Ten changes made at NASA to accommodate his return to space:
76 year-old John Glenn is returning to space. To help make his trip more comfortable, NASA is making a few changes...
10. All important devices now operated by "the clapper".
9. The Shuttle's thermostat set at 80 degrees.
8. Standard Astronaut issue; the "Pendant"..."Help I'm floating and I can't get down!"
7. "Early Bird" specials from Morrison's Cafeteria included on the menu.
6. One monitor specifically designated for "Matlock".
5. Roger Whittaker tapes played at nap-time.
4. Top speed of the Shuttle set at 25 miles per hour.
3. Bumber sticker: "Ask me about my grandchildren".
2. Space pants now go up to the armpits.
And the Number 1 change being made for John Glenn...
1. Left-blinker left on for the entire mission.
