I dislike judgy people so I give you pluses to admitting. All these people who know everything.... LOL. Most generation X know because we watched the movie The Right Stuff with Sam Shepherd.[/quote]

Speak for yourself. I'm a Gen-Xer and I know all about Glenn because I lived through the Cold War, and remember learning about the space race between the Soviet Union and the US in the 1960s, and the role Glenn and his contemporaries played in those events.  He was also a Senator from Ohio for 25 years and was always on the news even after he retired, so that is another reason you should know about him.

I absolutely judge people who go through life paying zero attention to anything around them.  To not even have an inkling who John Glenn was means you don't follow the news, you've never set foot in the Air and Space Museum (or if you did you wandered around aimlessly and bolted to the gift shop instead of looking at the exhibits), you don't know about major American movies or novels, and you didn't pay attention in your elementary, middle, or high school history classes.  If you had done even one of these things, you would know who John Glenn was.
