Glenn didn't have a degree either. From what I heard, if he really wanted to push he prob could have gotten in. He wasn't really interested due to the lack of actual piloting of the craft.
Glenn had a degree from a small college in Ohio.

What a life he has lived. He is the epitome of the WW2 generation and post-War America.
American hero.

Wow. I thought he was simply the first to break the sound barrier. If he went FTL then NASA is hiding some really interesting research.

Once selected, the Mercury 7 astronauts all pushed for design changes to allow for some degree of pilot control over the spacecraft. At least half the flights had some issue where this ended up being a good thing. Certainly made the difference by the time of the Apollo 13 mission.

Check again.
He went to a small college in Ohio, but left without completing.
They awarded him an honorary degree AFTER his space flight.

His resume gives him the right to be arrogant.
