John Glenn and Walter Mondale

I had never realised that former astronaut John Glenn somewhat challenged Walter Mondale in 1976 and 1984 - the bitter irony being that Mondale was dead set against the space program !

So the challenge is to swap Mondale for Glenn as a) Carter VP in 1976 and b) presidential candidate in the 1984 presidential election.

Bonus if The Right Stuff (released on October 25, 1983) can help.
 
The Right Stuff will definetly help. NASA is still basking in the afterglow of Apollo and the public is awed by NASA's shiny new Space Truck. The trick is to butterfly John Glenn slipping in the shower. If he doesn't, then I think he has a very good shot at eventually becoming President.
