The Right Stuff

Autobiography by Tom Wolfe

Blurb

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.
