John Glenn -- Definitive Photo in "Revolution" Posting

Perhaps fitting that the watch magazine "Revolution" would post this amazing photo of John Glenn, wearing his Heuer stopwatch, as he prepared for his Friendship Seven mission.

Here's the posting in Revolution -- GOD SPEED JOHN GLENN.

Notice that the stopwatch is preset to the 20 second mark, as Glenn started it exactly 20 seconds into his flight.

And here is the OnTheDash page telling the story of John Glenn and his Heuer -- John Glenn's Heuer. Hard to believe that it's been 10 years and two months since we published this story!!
