like nobody's around — the evolution of the boy band

Is there anyone who could have given Reagan a bigger challenge than Walter Mondale did in 1984?

If John Glenn had just hired the right people and put together a better campaign strategy (and maybe had a bit more political charisma), he could have absolutely been able to give Ronald Reagan a run for his money in 1984.

Reagan's whole political identity was that he was the most All-Americany All-American that ever stepped foot on the political scene and that he was going to fight Communism and make America that shining city on a hill. Imagine if he had to run against John Fucking Glenn -- a fighter pilot in World War II and Korea who literally fought Communists in real combat. Oh, and then he was one of the Mercury Seven and just so happened to be the first American astronaut to ever orbit the Earth. John Glenn wasn't just an astronaut -- he was the image that people had in their heads when they thought about what an astronaut was. He's still the definition of astronaut to most Americans. He was also buddies with JFK and RFK and when he retired from NASA -- again, he was a fucking ASTRONAUT, in case I didn't make that clear -- instead of moving to Florida and going golfing, he became a U.S. Senator. Not only should John Glenn have been able to out-All-American Ronald Reagan, but he should have been able to make Reagan seem like Leonid Brezhnev. I mean, just picture Reagan trying to get cute in a debate and making some sort of joke and then Glenn saying, "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. My ears are still adjusting from when I was a fighter pilot who shot down three actual MiG-15s and then became a FUCKING ASTRONAUT WHO ORBITED THE EARTH."

But when Glenn did seek the Democratic nomination in 1984, he ran a really crappy campaign and somehow lost to Walter Mondale (who went on to lose 49 out of 50 states to Reagan in the general election). Glenn's campaign is one of the all-time missed opportunities. He was running for President just a few months after The Right Stuff came out and reminded Americans that Glenn was not only an astronaut but THE astronaut! His campaign should have held screenings of that movie in every early primary state and just had Glenn serving apple pie and Coca-Cola outside every theater while wearing his space suit and sitting in a fighter jet and reminding folks that Reagan's "combat" duties during World War II was making training films in Burbank.

I don't know who ran John Glenn's disastrous 1984 Presidential campaign, but it was political malpractice. Just answering this question makes me mad because it's so obvious that he was the PERFECT candidate to run against Ronald Reagan. HE WAS JOHN GLENN. He was such a legendary astronaut that, years later, when NASA wanted to send an old guy to space to study the effects of space flight on aging people, they sent him! He was almost 80 years old and passed the same physicals as young astronauts! How the hell did Glenn lose the Democratic nomination to Mondale? John Glenn lost to a guy named "Fritz"! I can't believe that John Glenn couldn't even beat the guy who got beat in 49 out of 50 states in 1984.

I can't believe how frustrated I am from answering this question and slowly realizing the sheer political malpractice of John Glenn's failed 1984 Presidential campaign.

do you think the mercury seven ever explored each other’s bodies

90° 😏 Colin O'Donoghue in ‘The Right Stuff’ (2020)

4 Omega Speedmasters on Gemini IV June 3, 1965 Gemini IV astronaut Edward White became the first American to perform a spacewalk. Ed White wore a life support system at his chest and remained attached to the capsule with a 8 meter long umbilical assembly which consisted of a communication lead, a silicone rubber oxygen hose and a strong nylon tether. White used a Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit, nicknamed the “Zipgun” with a Zeiss photocamera attached to it, to produce controlled thrust bursts to move around the Gemini capsule. Both NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.003-63 chronographs on long velcro straps could clearly be seen at his inner left forearm. Both White and James McDivitt wore two Omega Speedmaster chronographs during Gemini IV as NASA learned to work with different time zones (Florida & Texas)! (Photo: Moonwatchuniverse)

The King, Churchill, and the Queen

“…although Churchill was a punctilious admirer of the institution of monarchy he was also a puckish one. He rated the monarchy very highly; but he also rated himself very highly. This could have caused resentment, as it had in the cases of Edward VII and George V, but did not with George VI.

Churchill, who cheerfully described himself to the King as “conceited but not arrogant”, would have been disconcerted had he known the amusement he gave to the Royal Family.  They respected and admired him immensely, and regarded him as a true friend and a great man, but there were aspects to Churchill’s personality and flamboyant style that they found irresistibly funny.”

Four years since this fun day, and the amazing photo my friend took of me with Colin O’Donohue and James Lafferty. But most importantly I had so much fun with my friend, and to me that is the best part 💜

Also we went through the line twice and the actors were like “uhhh we just saw you…” and we were like “no you didn’t… 😅” and then during the parade Michael Trotter shouted at me that he saw me a total of five times that day. I only recall 4… 😂
