Before space travel became familiar, John Glenn helped make history.

The John Glenn Story follows the astronaut’s journey from his early life to his historic flight aboard Friendship 7. Told through the lens of the early space age, this short documentary captures the ambition and anticipation surrounding America’s first orbital mission.

Narrated by Jack Webb, it’s a look at a defining moment in space exploration and the man at its centre.
