American astronaut and senator (1974–99). On February 20, 1962, Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth in a flight that reduced the Soviet Union’s early lead in the space race. Glenn later served as a US senator from Ohio in four consecutive terms from 1974 to 1998, made an unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1984, and, in 1998, became the oldest human to fly in space during his flight aboard the space shuttle Discovery.
