This seems appropriate:
High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, —and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of —Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

He was a great Marine and a lousy senator.
My God grant him pardon and peace.

Taking the one journey that could surpass the
one he experienced in the space program.

He was an incredible astronaut, and a mediocre Senator. RIP, John.

Mr. Glenn was a hero of mine growing up. Space exploration was a dream of many of my friends in Florida. RIP Mr. Glenn.

Ed Harris became a star when he portrayed him in “The Right Stuff”. Great use of Holst’s “Mars” from his Planets suite when Glenn rockets off to orbit.

Was not a fan of his politics but, damn, I sure admired him as the Marine and astronaut.
