'The Right Stuff' chronicles the story of the pioneering Mercury astronauts: Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper and Slayton, are the first Americans to ride a primitive spacecraft solo into a new frontier. Preceding them in the history books was the legendary Chuck Yeager who, far removed from the awesome media spotlight that would focus on the "spacemen" a decade later, became the first man to break the sound barrier piloting the fabled X-1. The Right Stuff is funny, touching and exciting entertainment.
