During his administration, Case rose from a local institution to rank with the top engineering schools in the United States. From October 1950 to November 1952, concurrent with his Case presidency, he served as a member of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission; as NASA Administrator, Glennan presided over an organization that had absorbed the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics intact. Within a short time after NASA's formal organization, Glennan incorporated several organizations involved in space exploration projects from other federal agencies into NASA to ensure that a viable scientific program of space exploration could be reasonably conducted over the long-term, he brought in part of the Naval Research Laboratory in NASA and created for its use the Goddard Space Flight Center. He incorporated several disparate satellite programs, two lunar probes, the research effort to develop a million pound force thrust, single-chamber rocket engine from the U.

S. Air Force and the U. S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency. In December 1958 Glennan acquired control of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a contractor facility operated by the California Institute of Technology. In 1960, Glennan obtained the transfer to NASA of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, located at Huntsville and renamed it the Marshall Space Flight Center. By mid-1960, Glennan had secured for NASA primacy in the U. S. federal government for the execution of all space activities except reconnaissance satellites, ballistic missiles, a few other space-related projects, most of which were still in the study stage, that the DOD controlled. Upon leaving NASA in January 1961, Glennan returned to the Case Institute of Technology, where he continued to serve as president until 1966. During this period he helped to negotiate the merger of Case with Western Reserve University, creating Case Western Reserve University. After his retirement in 1966, Glennan spent two years as president of Associated Universities, Inc. a Washington-based advocate for institutions of higher education.

A resident of Reston, Virginia for twenty years after his retirement, he moved to Mitchellville, Maryland in the late 1980s.

Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.79 mas, the distance to this star is 260 light years. The inner pair is a visual binary system consisting of two A-type main-sequence stars with an orbital period of 23.2 years, a semimajor axis of 0.136 arc seconds, an eccentricity of 0.79. The primary, component A, has a visual magnitude of 5.64 with a stellar classification of A3 Vnn, where the'nn' suffix indicates "nebulous" lines due to rotation. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 240 km/s; this is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge, 14% larger than the polar radius. The secondary member, component B, is a magnitude 6.04 star, while the more distant component C is magnitude 9.01 and lies at an angular separation of 8.330 arc seconds from the other two.

Forgotten Voices of the Falklands uses the resources of the Imperial War Museum’s Sound Archive to present the first complete oral history of the Falklands War. The book presents a chronicle of the conflict from many different perspectives, told in the participants’ own voices from the initial invasion of the islands to the British landings to the Argentine surrender and its aftermath; the interviews were brought together by author Hugh McManners, who himself fought in the Falklands War. In addition to the Imperial War Museum archives, entries for Bill Belcher and Jim Mitchell were taken from BBC documentary interviews. In March 1982, Argentina surprised the world by invading the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic Ocean; the tiny islands had long been the subject of a fierce territorial dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom, the occupation escalated into a full-blown conflict between the two countries. Referred to as a forgotten war, the Falklands conflict was the first war of the modern age, using satellite surveillance, night observation devices, all the latest weaponry military technology had to offer.
