What was the retro-package on john glenn's space capsule designed to do? a. put the space capsule into orbit b. the space capsule make a safe landing c. slow down the space capsule on its return to earth d. turn the space capsule around once it was in orbit

I believe the answer is C.) Slow down the space capsule on it's return to Earth. On another website they stated Glenn had said,"there were flaming chunks of the retro-pack burning off and coming back by the window," Which had happened during re-entry. Let me know if this helped.
