In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth, and he did so in the Friendship 7. Now that it’s no longer on display behind a glass case, Adam got to examine the spacecraft up close at Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, along with Astronaut Cady Coleman, who explains what it’s like to travel hours in space in such tiny quarters.
