History[]

George Glenn was born 16 years prior to the start of the Cosmic Era, when the world was still using the old calendar. In C.E. 1, at the age of 17 George obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In the following years Glenn had numerous achievements: he was a star athlete, an Olympic gold medalist, as well as a famous American football player. He was also an ace pilot in the Air Force, as well as having numerous achievements in the field of aerospace engineering.

In C.E. 15, George embarked on the Jupiter Exploration Mission for the Atlantic Federation's FASA (Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration), on a spaceship he designed, the Tsiolkovsky, which took seven years to achieve. Before he embarked on his journey, he revealed a shocking truth to the people of Earth. George explained that he was not born through natural means and that his genes were modified artificially early in his life. He explained that his body surpasses that of unaltered humans in every aspect-strength, intelligence, and creativity.[1]

Fourteen years later, in C.E. 29, George brought back from his exploration Evidence 01, also called the "Winged Whale." An extraterrestrial fossil found orbiting Jupiter that proved the existence of alien life.[1] This discovery prompted the temporary weakening of the influence of religious extremists on the world. In C.E 38, George proposed the construction of a new type of space colony, envisioning an entire colony cluster that would focus on research and technological advancement. The project was approved and over the next several years the PLANT Colonies were constructed at Lagrange 5, where George was studying Evidence 01.

In C.E. 53, George was assassinated by a Natural, who was angry that he was not born a Coordinator.[1] Later, it was revealed that George Glen's brain was preserved in the GG Unit which was given to Lowe Guele. Lowe then passed the GG Unit to The Professor, who extracted the memory engrams and created a holographic George Glenn to serve as the Re.H.O.M.E.'s captain.[2]

Legacy[]

George Glenn remained a prominent figure following his "death", particularly within the PLANTs, whose colony, Aprilius One, was chosen as the nation's capital for representing the date of George's birth, April 1st.
