Glenn to become oldest NASA spaceflight subject
NASA is set to allow 76 year old Senator John Glenn to return to space as a biological test subject aboard Discovery aimed at studying weightlessness effects on bones and the immune system. A tentatively October 8 launch would make him 77. Fellow civilian Barbara Morgan is also rumored for a future mission.
