Meanwhile Friendship 7 was vaulting the Atlantic on its second orbital pass, and Glenn was busy keeping his capsule's attitude correct and trying to accomplish as many of the flight plan tasks as possible.
Friendship 7 had splashed into the Atlantic about 40 miles short of the predicted area, as retrofire calculations had not taken into account the spacecraft's weight loss in consumables.
Once Friendship 7 was lowered to the mattress pallet, Glenn began removing paneling, intending to leave the capsule through the upper hatch.

Friendship 7 was built by the McDonald Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis for Project Mercury—America's program to send a man in to orbit around the Earth.
The Mercury Spacecraft Friendship 7, Gemini 4 Spacecraft, and Apollo 11 Command Module are nationally significance because they collectively represented the three classes of spacecraft that were constructed to carry Americans into space and eventually toward the goal of the first manned landing on the Moon in July 1969.
For example, Friendship 7 carried John Glenn into space in 1962 as the first American to orbit the Earth; Gemini 4 carried Ed White and saw the completion of his "walk in space", Apollo 11 carried the first men to land on the surface of the Moon.

 NASM Space Artifacts: Friendship 7
The Mercury spacecraft was designed to sustain a man in space for periods of several hours, protect him from heat and acceleration associated with launch and reentry, allow for astronaut control of the spacecraft attitude, provide for limited observation of earth and experimentation, and conduct a controlled reentry with sufficient precision to allow timely recovery.
Near the end of his first orbit, Glenn noticed that Friendship 7 drifted slowly to the right when the automatic control system was on.
Friendship 7 splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean 4 hours and 55 minutes after launch.

 No such thing as Mercury 6
Glenn named his capsule Friendship 7, but the capsule and the mission had other designations.
The original use of that designation seems to have been a series of crew patches for the Mercury missions, designed many years after the actual flights, to capitalize on the growing crew patch craze.
As if all that wasn't enough, consider this: the capsule name Mercury 7 was actually used in the 1964 science fiction novel Marooned, written by Martin Caidin, as a fictional Mercury mission.

 Discovery Institute - Article Database - Friendship 7, Columbia, and Tomorrow:
The Columbia catastrophe has understandably inspired a rededication to manned space flight, lest those who perished so tragically and heroically should have died in vain.
John Glenn — who so memorably rode Friendship 7 into orbit 41 years ago this month — has called for continuing shuttle flights.
Restarting the remaining shuttles is a natural reflex, but doing so will only place the future of America's space program in receivership to bureaucratic inertia.

The Mission Objectives were fairly simple by today standards: Place a man into earth orbit, observe his reactions to the space environment and safely return him to earth to a point where he could be readily found.
In the Mercury Control Center, at the tracking stations, and on the recovery ships ringing the globe, engineers, technicians, physicians, recovery personnel, and fellow astronauts stood nervously, stared at their consoles, and listened to the communications circuits.
Then a strap from the retropackage swung around and fluttered over the window, and he saw smoke as the whole apparatus was consumed.

 Treasuring the alchemy of a friendship: 7/14/02
I learned through knowing Barbara that it's not only what we know about our friends that keeps love born of friendship vital; it's also what we don't know about them, and what we're unable to predict about them that intrigues us.
The surprises and secrets beloved friends share and amaze us with, through the process of living, learning, and growing, are equally important to keeping the relationship organic and alive.
Without those shared elements, that unpredictability, friendships wither and pass.

I did the task that I had kept putting off because I valued the friendship of a very sick man. All three of the letters were basically alike; I merely changed a few sentences according to whom it was being addressed.
Perhaps the Fates had decreed that we should have a sudden and disastrous ending to our friendship so that Michael could see the error of his ways, or at least be too frightened to ever do any of those things again.
I emailed him back and told him that he had been reported to AOL for going into kid and teen chatrooms pretending to be a young teen, that he had also been reported to the Little Falls PD, and for it to be libel or slander it had to be false.
