John Glenn Signed Large Kodak Promotional Color Photo Celebrating His STS-95 Flight. A very rare and attractive 20" x 24" glossy color poster on Kodak Professional Paper showing Glenn in his orange spacesuit with a launch image in the background. It is beautifully signed in gold felt tip: "Best Regards/ John Glenn/ 12-2-98" near the top. At the bottom is a series of eight small photos of Glenn preparing for his Mercury-Atlas 6 (Friendship 7) and his Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-95) missions. The text, beneath the Kodak logo, is: "You did more than go back, you took us all further." Only the second of these we have encountered. Stored rolled, very fine.

This striking poster neatly encapsulates Glenn's unparalleled arc from pioneering Mercury astronaut to returning Shuttle crew member more than three decades later. Its bold presentation, exceptional provenance, and crisp gold-ink inscription make it a standout display piece for any advanced spaceflight collection. A scarce and evocative tribute to one of America's defining explorers.
