Author Andrew Chaikin, who in 2014 wrote a biography of the late John Glenn (“America’s Astronaut”), has now released a new look at the space hero’s return to Earth in February 1962. The video, which Chaikin posted online to mark the astronaut’s death, synchronizes film of Glenn on board his Mercury spacecraft Friendship 7 with the audio recorded of his harrowing re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
