Godspeed, John Glenn

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Florida Atlantic University

John Glenn was more than an astronaut and senator—he embodied the Right Stuff and became one of America’s most enduring legends. While the world knew him as a pioneering astronaut and dedicated statesman, few had the opportunity to see the man behind the public image.

In this intimate presentation, former U.S. Senate staffer Mark Goldstein shares a unique perspective from his six years working closely with Glenn. Beyond the historic achievements, Goldstein offers personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories that reveal Glenn’s warmth, character, humility, and sharp sense of humor.

Join OLLI at FAU for a memorable journey into a bygone era of American service and a closer look at the extraordinary man who truly reached for the stars.
