EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary John Glenn and his esteemed crew members during their mission in June 1998. Seated at the forefront are Curtis L Brown and Steven W Lindsey, while standing from left to right are Scott F Parazynski, Steven K Robinson, Chiaki Mukai, Pedro Duque, and of course, John H Glenn himself. This historic moment marked the STS-95 mission's departure from Kennedy Space Center with a groundbreaking objective: to study the effects of space flight on aging using Glenn as the test subject. Throughout their remarkable 3.5 million mile journey, this exceptional team conducted over eighty scientific experiments aimed at unraveling more about the human body and how life on Earth is impacted by our sun. Their dedication to advancing knowledge in science and space exploration is truly commendable. The diversity within this group portrait reflects not only different nationalities but also a shared passion for discovery beyond borders. With representatives from Spain (Pedro Duque), Japan (Chiaki Mukai), and America (John Glenn), this image symbolizes international collaboration in pursuit of understanding our universe. As we gaze upon this colorful snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless curiosity and determination to push boundaries. These men and women have etched their names into history books through their contributions to space travel during an era that defined progress in both technology and exploration.
