Fotografía de agencia que representa al astronauta John Glenn.
Estas fotografias suelen llevar al dorso un breve texto que comenta la foto, en el caso presente:
El Coronel Glenn llevando su acondicionador de aire portátil (sic) para su equipo espacial de vuelo marcha a la furgoneta que lo ha de llevar a la base del cohete. Va acompañado por Joe W. Schimdt , especialista de equipos de vuelos espaciales de la Nasa ( de blanco, detrás) y el Dr. William K. Douglas, medico de la Nasa con otros tecnicos.
Glenn fue la quinta persona en subir al espacio y el primer estadounidense en orbitar la Tierra.
Esto nos permite fechar la foto en 1962
Se hizo famoso también por oponerse a que las mujeres fueran en los vuelos espaciales causando su tesis una gran controversia publica en USA. De hecho tuvieron que pasar tres décadas hasta que una mujer viajara al espacio
