I don't know about you, but it really disturbs me that Perth celebrated the the City of Lights, as part of the anniversary. I remember, as a kid, that I turned all the lights on outside when John Glenn passed overhead. He, so many years later, I learn the folly of such an event.

I would rather see them all turned off, permanently. :P Bring back the night sky, the greatest natural wonder that is disappearing so fast!

Ahh sorry Gary, I did a brief look for John Glen along the post subjects but not for Friendship 7.

Happy for a mod to delete this post so we don't have double ups :)

What a fitting aniversary it is.
How could you possibly delete John Glenn.

Cheers Kev.
