On this day in 1909, eight businessmen in Detroit founded the Hudson Motor Car Company, aiming to produce a car for under $1,000. Their first car rolled out in July of the same year. And in 1962, a crowd at MSU's Kellogg Center watched as John Glenn became the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth, marking a historic moment in space exploration.
