Kennedy presented the NASA Distinguished Service Award to John Glenn in front of Hangar S at Cape Canaveral.
Hangar S was NASA’s Original Manned Spacecraft Center. Located on Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Hangar S was crucial to NASA’s early human spaceflights and became a hub of activity as America prepared to send its first astronauts into space. The 61,300-square-foot facility housed astronaut training, crew quarters.
Glenn’s successful flight confirmed Kennedy’s goals for the nation’s space effort that he would detail six months later in a famous speech at Rice university.
