The Right Stuff
A chronicle of the unique Mercury astronauts within the formation of America’s area program: Alan Shepherd, the primary American in area; Gus Grissom, the benighted astronaut for whom nothing works out as deliberate; John Glenn, the straight-arrow ‘boy scout’ of the bunch who was the primary American to orbit the earth; and the remaining pilots: Deke Slayton, Scott Carpenter and Wally Schirra.
