Advantages: Gives you the real story behind US space exploration Disadvantages: He can overdo the exclamation marks
and friendships between the seven chosen ones, and shows how the leaders emerge from the pack.
The Right Stuff is often genuinely funny, pitching the sublimity of space flight against the ridiculous nature of the preparations. Like the passage where he describes the astronauts' humiliating experiences at the hands of doctors in a series of bizarre medical tests: having to scuttle doubled-up along a corridor with their intestines pumped full of a barium enema, holding on for dear life to the rubber tube trailing out of their rear ends. Then there's the scene where, taken on a tour of a rocket factory, one of the pilots, Gus Grissom, has to produce some words to inspire the workers, and all he can come up with is "Do good work".
