- On February 20, 1962, Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth. After two sub-orbital hops made by Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom, Glenn rode atop the far more powerful Atlas booster during a 4-1/2 hour mission during which he made three orbits of the Earth.
Despite several technical issues throughout the flight, Mercury-Atlas 6 (known better by the callsign Friendship 7) was a resounding success and massive leap forward in the American space program.

What blows my mind is this was less than 17 years after the end of WW2 and less than 100 years after the end of the American civil War.
I lived near Cape Canaveral as a young boy and was fortunate to see the early launches in person. Later I worked at Kennedy Space Center and got to meet many of the original Astronauts. These were men with nerves of steel and adventurous spirits. You might say they were adrenalin junkies. But they were also demanding and expected the best efforts from the support crew of which I was proud to be one.
I'm glad you were so fortunate.
That’s great
The small particles that John Glenn described starting at 3:30 (also called "fireflies"), turned out to be ice crystals from his spacecraft.
Very impressive animation! Brings the story of Friendship 7 to life.
I recall the actual event from my childhood days, which was viewed through grainy TV footage back then. This excellent animation brings it to life again and reflects the bravery of John Glenn and his pioneering colleagues.
Your animations bring the history of space exploration alive in a way other documentaries cannot achieve. This production of John Glenn's Friendship 7 flight is another valuable contribution to our understanding of what early astronauts experienced. Thank you for taking us along for a ride in a Mercury capsule! Superb!
John Glenn sounds like the perfect test pilot
The Right Stuff
I grew up with this as a young kid and now watch Space X.
God bless you.
When starship gets orbit it’s going to be amazing
"not at this time"... The face said everything. Beautiful attention to detail.b
I regret that I have only one like to give. It's one heck of a thing to see from John Glenn's perspective. It'd be difficult for a person to get much more courageous than that. Thank you for making this.
Wow, this is some great stuff! Really feels like you’re there in the capsule with John, experiencing both the wonders and stresses of spaceflight along with him. Keep it up!
Got the chills, Roger
Godspeed, John Glenn
Well done.👍
I love the scene from the movie "The Right Stuff" when the old Aborigines Man flies with Glenn. ...and the sparks of fire are these little things that circle around the spaceship. Very nice.👍❤️
61 years later and software's joy beams Colonel Glenn eternal.
Thank you for this. I was 19 years old when this took place and I remember it like it was yesterday. You've brought it back to life. And me too.
It is clear that you put a great deal of hard work into making this production. I was particularly glad to see that you correctly blew off the protective thruster caps from the retro pack, as nearly everyone get it wrong and shows thruster flames with the caps still on. Well done!
That actually was a mistake I made in my Freedom 7 animation. Made it a point to get it right this time.
This is such a technical animation, one of the best around!
Wow. What an incredible video. I dont even want to know how long this took. The accuracy is incredible. Just a great job. I've warched it three times now.
The mirror on the chest in the last shot was cool. Forgot all about that. 😂😂😂😂😂😅
All of Corey’s stuff is really good, this will be too
I've liked everything he has uploaded 😁
Very impressive animation as always, they look so real!
As a kid I recall them telling Glenn to keep the retro pack on well before he actually fired the retro rockets. But damn, this is awesome!
Beautiful.
AMAZING! Thank YOU!
This is s great animation - this was the big one for the US . Alan Shepard's sub-orbital lob was one-thing but this was a man in orbit - a real space mission . Glenn had been bitterly disappointed not to be picked for the first flight but this was the big one.
Most underrated video
Wow! Thank you SO much! Excellent work.
Outstanding work there my friend! Kept me on the edge of my chair! You have outdone yourself, take a bow, you earned it! I remember being a small boy watching this on our black and white TV when it happened. Of course we never knew all this was going on and I thank you for the memories, truly impressive!
I learned a lot watching this. Things I didn’t know
Very impressive video! I remember the original, and I hate to say it, but your version was a hell of a lot better!
Thank you, these things, these people, must be remembered.
INCREDIBLE WORK, @C-bass Productions!
Channel is underrated.
Great to see what it was really like! Thank you.
VERY WELL DONE!
I was seven years old when this happened - remember it well. Excellent work !
Amazing. Thank you 🫡
Great video, wonderful animation. Would have been nice John Glenn himself would have been able to relive his adventure this way. Impressive work!
Wonderful!
Amazing video! Thanks for making this reenactment of history. Made sure to sit through both ADs 👊
Breathtaking & heart palpitating trying to imagine & visualize being there…heroes & giants of humanity’s progress to the stars! 🤙🏽
That was truly great to watch. Congrats and more please!
This stuff you have been doing lately is crazy! AMAZING
You are absolutely amazing! Thank you for this magical animation ✨. You make us dream 🫶
I predict that this UA-cam channel will launch through the stratosphere of success soon
Thanks!!!
Excellent work! Really brings Glenn's mission to life - just like being there! Better than the documentaries :)
Superb, thank you
well done!
You wouldn’t want to be claustrophobic during the days when you didn’t so much get into a space capsule as you put it on.
Amazing video-thank you!
The animations of John are so natural! Can't believe how much you've improved since I first subbed. Keep it up!
Really impressive! Excellent work! Can't imagine how long it takes to make this.
This was so good. Thank you so much for you work. 👍
How the hell did you get me to worry all over again!?
These animations are so good i hope you keep it up!
It's a real movie!
Nice job
Skipped the main chutes Brah?!? Overall a good animation.
WOW...
Very nicely done. Thank you!
This is brilliant, well done! 👏
Just stunning. Great work again!
MY GOD THIS IS JUST SO SIMPLE AND INCREDIBLE!! REALLY BOUGHT THIS TO LIFE! BEAUTIFUL WORK! 😍😍👌👌👍👍👌👌👌
Wonderful stuff. Really enjoyed the graphics 😘
Well done!
Wow they look very real.
We went from a country idolizing heroes like this that keep a resting heart rate while facing death to idolizing people like Drake in just fifty years. Just in time to give feedback training for super-intelligent machines. God help us all.
really well done, full cg guy was great
Left my compass on this way🎉💯
Deeply moving. Thank you so much.
Very well done, I am speechless !!!! 👍👍👍👍
epic!
A+++ nice job!!
well that was nice !! thanks ! bravo zulu
Great. But I think John Glenn has to smile a little bit more.
alucinante!!!
That was better than First Man
Excelente animación recreando momentos históricos fascinantes.
You are getting 25 per cent "likes" to views when the average is 5 percent. Totally understandable! Fantastic work. Thank you.
😃😃😃😃
That was not Astronaut John Glenn. That was Astronaut Uncanny Valley.
Absolutely amazing historical work. I just wish however, that there was more "creative freedom" with the unlimited freedom of the 3D environment, and less of a cinematic approach. Other than that, keep on showing us history like we're there.
Could it have been ice particles he was seeing? It occurred just as the capsule was coming into the sunlight. The heat from the sunlight could have loosened up any accumulations stuck to a vent or something.
It was later determined that the "fireflies" was condensation that came from the life support system and froze to the side of capsule during the night. They came loose and were lit up in the sunrise.
Also the affect is somewhat similar to the "twilight effect" seen during launches where when the booster reaches an altitude where it reaches sunlight again. The exhaust illuminates and shines brilliantly from the perspective of the ground.
The sunlight is being scattered by the exhaust, and here from what condensation was falling away from the capsule during the orbital sunrise.
Wasn't john supposed to be humming battle hymn of the Republic as he was a big fire ball like ed Harris did ??? Im so used to the movie. Still a great viddie and he was such a great brave man who was always so humble about his accomplishments not a loud blowhard hero like some fighter pilots would.
The swirling luminous objects were a real occurrence. Anyone care to speculate what they were? If I didn’t know it really happened I would have thought this was science fiction. What were they???
Ice particles originating from the environmental control system breaking off and being lit up by the rising sun. Scott Carpenter, who flew after Glenn, basically made it his personal mission to definitively find out what the "fireflies" were.
Amazing animation. I wish more animations like this were being made instead of stupid Transformers movies and that kind of nonsense.
Sort of like riding in a paper cup for fast food ketchup .
4th Comment Here
I've noticed in virtually interview and documentary, Glenn maintains that he was never informed about the landing bag deploy indicator,... yet we clearly hear them informing him during the re-entry procedure. Has he simply forgotten this, or does he purposefully exaggerate the story for the sake of a story?
He was more upset he wasn’t informed of the bag deploy indicator when it actually happened, rather than at the last possible moment. The indicator went off at the start of the second orbit, but Glenn wasn’t even clued in to anything being wrong until near the end of the third orbit. And once he was told something was off-nominal, he wasn’t told exactly what until several minutes later.
@@CbassProductions You still need instructions to relay before you can give such info. Unless there is something proactive the astronaut can do, it ends up only serving as distraction
Even if there was nothing he could have done about it, as a test pilot he still wanted to have as up-to-date information about his spacecraft as possible, even if just for situational awareness. Being kept in the dark robbed him of that.
@@CbassProductions all I can think of is
RETRO: "Flight, they're still shallowing a bit up there. You wanna tell em?"
FLIGHT: "Is there anything we can do about it?"
RETRO: "Not right now, Flight"
FLIGHT: "Then they don't need to know, do they?"
@@CbassProductions Хорошее дополнение к вышесказанному. Спасибо за замечательное видео, как впрочем и за другие. 💯👍В середине 90 -х годов на мои письма лично ответили пионеры американских космических программ Джон Гленн, Джон Янг и Нил Армстронг. Их письма и фотографии с автографами стали нашей семейной реликвией. Вечная им память. Всего вам доброго и удачи во всем! Санкт - Петербург, Россия.
Никак я не могу понять - кто же первый американский космонавт? Джон Гленн или Алан Шеппард?
Alan Sheppard was the first American in space (ua-cam.com/video/JjAKmhSCjyg/v-deo.html), John Glenn was the first to orbit the earth in space.
Mmmm😏
That does not look like John Glenn , more like The Humongous Face from Mad Max.
Is this original audio?
Yes, it is
@@CbassProductions That's awesome, great job dude!
