Quote: Former astronaut John Glenn dies aged 95
Former astronaut and US Senator John Glenn has died in Ohio aged 95.
Glenn became a national hero in 1962 when he became the first American to orbit the Earth.
Glenn was the third US astronaut in space and the first of them to get into orbit.
He circled the Earth three times.
Glenn then spent 24 years as a Democrat from Ohio in the Senate and briefly made a run for president in 1984. He returned to space in 1998, at age 77, aboard space shuttle Discovery.
He was the last survivor of the original Mercury 7 astronauts.
