When the future began... The men had it. Yeager. Conrad. Grissom. Glenn. Heroes ...
the first Americans in space ... battling the Russians for
control of the heavens ... putting their lives on the line. The women had it. While Mr. Wonderful was aloft, it tore
your heart out that the Hero's Wife, down on the ground, had
to perform with the whole world watching ... the TV Press
Conference: "What's in your heart? Do you feel with him
while he's in orbit?" The Right Stuff. It's the quality beyond bravery, beyond
courage. It's men like Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot
of all and the fastest man on earth. Pete Conrad, who almost
laughed himself out of the running. Gus Grissom, who almost
lost it when his capsule sank. John Glenn, the only space
traveler whose apple-pie image wasn't a lie.
