Synopsis

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 102, in which I interview John Glenn, first American to orbit the Earth, about what he sees as a constructive intersection of space travel and religion.  The interview was conducted on July 30, 2015 in Senator Glenn's office at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. A transcript of this conversation will be published in the Touching the Face of the Cosmos anthology being assembled by Michael Waltemathe and me - more details about that, including the contents, here.   We also discussed John Glenn's response to portrayals of him in the media, and other aspects of his life as an astronaut.  *Note added December 17, 2015: the anthology has been published, and is here available here.   In addition to John Glenn, his wife Annie of 72 years participates in the conversation.  Adam Sackowitz joins in the questioning.  In addition to John and Annie Glenn, I thank Joel Iskowitz, Adam Sackowitz, Peter Bucher, Kathy Dancey, and Fordha
