Like the Stars

Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. 1962, the first American to orbit Earth.
The astronaut John Glenn may have caught a glimpse of heavenly blue from the porthole of his spaceship, but I have watched the lights of a computer in operation. And they looked like the stars. -- Allan Kaprow from his essay The Artist as a Man of the World (1964)
