A United America

I’m heartened by this photo of New York commuters packed into Grand Central Station to watch John Glenn become the first American to orbit the earth. It’s reassuring to think of a time when fellow citizens came together in support of a common hero. The photo feels simultaneously retro and futuristic. Let’s hope we find our way back to unity again. RIP, John Glenn.
