In 1962 when the United States sent its first astronaut, John Glenn, into orbit they weren't sure what to expect so he took some shark repellent just in case.

This statement is true. John Glenn took shark repellent with him in the Friendship 7 capsule when he went into space. However, the shark repellent was not to use against sharks in space, it was part of a survival kit to use in case the capsule landed off course in the ocean somewhere and he had to survive in a life-raft with sharks around him in the ocean.
