JOHN GLENN: BOTTLE SIGNED BY THE CREW OF STS-95.
Bottle in white opaque glass, originally containing Archer Peach Schnapps, SIGNED by the crew of STS-95, plus several of their spouses, including John Glenn, Curt Brown, Steve Lindsey, Steve Robinson, Chiaki Mukai, Pedro Duque, Scott Parazynski (who inscribed it "You're my Hero!"), as well as Annie Glenn, Diane Lindsey, and others. Above "Archer" on the schnapps labeling, the word "Annie's" has been written in.
Provenance: Estate of John Glenn.
Shuttle mission STS-95 launched in October 1998, taking John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, back to space for his second orbital flight at the age of 77. He participated in studies that hoped to gain insight into the aging process, and similar effects on human physiology brought about by zero-gravity space flight. Glenn remains the oldest person to go into space.
