WASHINGTON — When John Glenn soared into space as the first American in orbit, Scott Carpenter wished him bon voyage with three simple words: "Godspeed, John Glenn." Glenn bid farewell to his lifelong pal who died Thursday in the same way.

"Godspeed, Scott Carpenter -- Great Friend," Glenn, the last remaining Mercury 7 astronaut, said in a statement issued by his spokesman on Friday. He added: "You are missed."

The passing of another American hero. I'm sure we have new American heroes, but nobody can be bothered to report on them- and I'm not talking about athletes or show-biz celebrities... Just makes me really sad... :(
