On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth in his space capsule, Friendship 7. At flight's end an indicator light warned his heat shield was loose. Glenn therefore kept his retrorockets in place to secure the heat shield and returned to earth in what he described as "a real fireball." Brother Glenn is a member of Concord Lodge 688 Concord, Ohio.
