(CNN)Former astronaut and US Sen. John Glenn, 95, was hospitalized "more than a week ago," according to Ohio State University spokesman Hank Wilson.

"Sen. Glenn is at The James Cancer Hospital at The Ohio State University (and) was admitted there more than a week ago," Wilson wrote in an email. "I do not know his condition or illness or prognosis. I caution that even though Sen. Glenn is at The James that does not necessarily mean he has cancer."

6. Wow 2 in the past week

At first I thought this article was talking about what happened with Buzz Aldrin and then saw the age (almost 10 years age difference between them) and then blinked and said wait! This is about John Glenn!

Hope both of these men are able to recover.
