“This quality, this it, was never named…nor was it talked about in any way. As to just what this ineffable quality was…well, it obviously involved bravery. But it was not bravery in the simple sense of being willing to risk your life. The idea seemed to be that any fool could do that, if that was all that was required, just as any fool could throw away his life in the process. No, the idea here (in the all-enclosing fraternity) seemed to be that a man should have the ability to go up in a hurtling piece of machinery and put his hide on the line and then have the moxie, the reflexes, the experience, the coolness, to pull it back in the last yawning moment – and then go up again the next day, and the next day, and every next day, even if the series should prove infinite…Nor was there a test to show whether or not a pilot had this righteous quality. There was, instead, a seemingly infinite series of tests. A career in flying was like climbing one of those ancient Babylonian pyramids made up of a dizzy progression of steps and ledges, a ziggurat, a pyramid extraordinarily high and steep; and the idea was to prove at every foot of the way up that pyramid that you were one of the elected and anointed ones who had the right stuff and could move higher and higher and even – God willing, one day – that you might be able to join the special few at the very top, that elite who had the capacity to bring tears to men’s eyes, the very Brotherhood of the Right Stuff itself…”- Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff Having read a fair amount of books, I’m willing to admit that I don’t remember every one with perfect clarity. Often, even books I recall loving at the time retain only a distant glow. Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff is different. This in one I’ll remember. It’s not my favorite book, not even close. But boy oh boy is it …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
This would have been a superb book but for Wolfe's puzzling decision to libel astronaut Gus Grissom. Sadly, between the book and its movie adaptation, Wolfe's distortions are probably all that most people know about Grissom (assuming of course that they remember any astronaut other than Neil Armstrong in the first place).Grissom was one of the original seven Mercury astronauts, and the second to go into space. After his capsule splashed down, its hatch blew before the recovery helicopter arrived and the spacecraft sank, marring a near-flawless mission. No one was able to determine the cause of the incident (even after the capsule was recovered from the ocean floor thirty years later) but the universal consensus among NASA's engineers and astronauts was that mechanical failure couldn't be ruled out, and that Grissom deserved the benefit of the doubt.For some reason, Wolfe decided that Grissom, despite having been a combat veteran and despite the fact that the most dangerous stages of the mission (launch and re-entry) were behind him, had panicked and blown the hatch himself. He also insinuates that the souvenirs Grissom had brought along (a few rolls of coins and some keychain-sized models of the capsule) had somehow contributed to Grissom's nearly drowning (in fact air had been escaping from a valve -- that he admitted he had forgotten to close -- reducing his buoyancy). Wolfe cynically adds that NASA covered up Grissom's blunders in the interest of protecting its public image.In reality, there's no evidence for Wolfe's position. Even the curmudgeonly Flight Director Chris Kraft, whose autobiography shows no reluctance to tear into other astronauts, has steadfastly maintained that Grissom wasn't at fault. The clearest evidence of Grissom's …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
“A bit over the top” would be my short description of this book. A book about space program is exactly what I normally would get all “Oooh, shiny!” about. It’s the stuff I love dearly and will happily lap up. But this one — despite an interesting promise it kept periodically hitting the false notes, feeling a little too much, too overdone, too weirdly subjective, too reliant on creating excitement out of everything, too gleefully dwelling on the gruesomeness of tragedies, too reliant on verbal lists like the one I just created, plus ellipses and exclamation points. It reads too novelized, and it’s not a good thing. Somehow these very real people started feeling like characters as Wolfe’s omniscient narration in this persistently slightly frantic anxious style was emphasizing drama and petty rivalries, adding tension where a calm narration would do, unquestioningly putting the reader into each of the astronaut’s heads (chimps included), assuming what went in there, and doing its best to tie most things to that titular “right stuff”. And what is that “right stuff” that the test pilots who then became astronauts and therefore sudden new American heroes apparently had? It seems to be a cocktail of machismo and a bit of charming daredevil attitude, the ability to look death in the eye and shrug it off and return with dedication to the work that’s trying to kill you day after day, and inject a bit of humor into the situation while still projecting a bit of a charmingly cocky confidence. It’s a pointed and critical and yet still admiring examination of what makes a “real man” who’s got that elusive “it”, whatever it may be. It��s Maverick in “Top Gun” to a tee. “No, herein the world was divided into those who had it and those who did not. This quality, this it, was never named, however, nor was it talked about in any way. As to just …

While the fuel - 200,000 pounds of liquid oxygen - begins to glow white, and the world holds its breath, the pilot simply dozes off.

One of the high points of The Right Stuff comes when one of the astronauts, Gordo Cooper, awaits lift-off. As the scientists run their final checks, they are bemused by the slowing of his vital signs.
In order to overcome this, the Mercury Seven had to prove themselves in society and show everyone that they were capable of being pilots.

The book The Right Stuff argues that the perception of pilots is that astronauts are not as good as them. This is because they don’t actually fly their spacecraft themselves.
Gerald Carr was selected by NASA in 1966 and flew during the Skylab 4 space station mission in 1973.

At least some astronauts, however, used "The Right Stuff" as cultural touchstones to discuss milestones in their training.
