00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:08,580
the 50th expedition on board the

3
00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:10,290
International Space Station here with

4
00:00:14,690 --> 00:00:12,809
flight engineer Peggy Whitson we want to

5
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:14,700
say a few words today is a tribute to a

6
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:20,520
great American hero John Glenn we have

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:22,470
always admired John Glenn for being the

8
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:24,330
first American astronaut to orbit our

9
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:27,599
planet as impressive as that is John

10
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:30,119
also had an incredibly substantial role

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:32,520
in his military service setting

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:35,010
transcontinental speed records and in a

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:36,690
completely different type of role

14
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:40,250
serving 24 years in our Senate for Ohio

15
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:43,620

16
00:00:48,139 --> 00:00:45,420
his astronaut career on board shuttle

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:48,149
discovery he was a Renaissance man in my

18
00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:50,489
mind demonstrating skill in many

19
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:53,820
different fields here onboard the

20
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:55,230
International Space Station the

21
00:00:59,150 --> 00:00:57,120
expedition 50 crew does our best to

22
00:01:01,729 --> 00:00:59,160
emulate all that John did with as many

23
00:01:03,319 --> 00:01:01,739
many years of service to his country his

24
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:03,329
initial spaceflight and the many

25
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,400
sacrifices he made are still an

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:07,200
inspiration to us
