About this book

The Right Stuff, Explains the lives of pilots involved in the U.S. postwar research with experimental rocket-powered, high-speed aircraft and the astronauts of NASA’s Project Mercury program.

The book explores the immense risks that test pilots were already taking and the mental and physical attributes (the so-called “right stuff”) that their jobs demanded and cultivated. Wolfe portrays the astronauts as “single combat warriors” from a bygone era who received their people’s honor and admiration before embarking on a mission on their behalf.
