I JUST DONT FOUL UP ANY OF THESE GOOD EXPERIMENTS THAT WE HAVE (12:44)

Glenn s experiments will use the special conditions of weightlessness to
study the process of aging . Years ago, he noticed astronauts in space
experience some of the same problems as the elderly. Loss of bone and
muscle mass. Changes in blood flow. After years of intense lobbying,
he convinced NASA he d be the perfect guinea pig. (:16)

TOWARD STARTING WHAT I HOPE WILL BE A WHOLE NEW ERA OF INVESTIGATION
THAT CAN HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BEING ENORMOUSLY VALUABLE IN CUTTING BACK
SOME OF THE FRAILTIES OF OLD AGE. (:12)

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR JOY RIDE FOR SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS PRESIDENT

RIGHT. (:10) //(17:14:58) A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT I JUST WENT
OVER TO NASA ONE DAY AND SAID, HEY, I D LIKE TO GO UP IN SPACE! AND
THEY SAID OH, THAT S GREAT. THAT S COOL. LET S SCHEDULE IT YOU KNOW
(15:05) (:07)//(17:18:12) THIS WAS DONE AFTER PEER REVIEW BY THE NASA
SCIENTISTS AND PEOPLE WHO LOOKED INTO WHAT GOOD WE COULD GET OUT OF
THIS, AND IT S CERTAINLY NOT DONE JUST AS ANY FAVOR FOR JOHN GLENN. I
CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT. (:18:22) (:10)
Each space mission adds another layer of knowledge about living in
space....NASA scientists know a lot more than they did before Glenn s
first flight in 1962...and now, nearly 37 years later, John Glenn will
return--grey and wrinkled, but amazingly fit.
