The Right Stuff	comment	The Right Stuff is a 1983 film adaptation of Tom Wolfe's best-selling book, about the attempt to break the sound barrier and the subsequent Space Race. Directed and written by Philip Kaufman, it received eight Academy Award nominations, winning four.Briefly considered to be a campaign promo for John Glenn's presidential aspirations in 1984 (though it actually didn't help much), the film provided breakout roles for a number of now-established actors: Scott Glenn (unless you count Urban Cowboy), Dennis Quaid (unless you count Breaking Away), Fred Ward (unless you count Escape from Alcatraz), and Ed Harris (unless you count Knightriders). And while Sam Shepard never worked too hard to advance his acting career, if he can be said to have had a breakout role, it was in this; his performance earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Among the others in the large ensemble cast are Lance Henriksen, Scott Paulin, Barbara Hershey, Veronica Cartwright, Pamela Reed, Scott Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, and Harry Shearer.Although the movie is centered around the men and their fast, expensive, and dangerous toys, the women in the movie receive a great deal of character development, from Pancho Barnes and Nurse Murch to all of the astronauts' wives.Interesting trivia: the actor named Glenn played Shepard, and the actor named Shepard played Yeager. Glenn was played by ... the actor named Harris.Not to be confused with the Anime online store The Right Stuf, which has one "F". Or the song by New Kids on the Block.Another adaptation of the novel, an 8-part miniseries produced by National Geographic, premiered in 2020 on Disney+.

The Right Stuff / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: The head German engineer of NASA and the "Soviet Chief Designer" are meant to be portrayals of Wernher Von Braun and Sergei Korolev respectively. Although in Korolev's case, not knowing or revealing his name would've been Truth in Television, since his identity was a state secret until his death, while Von Braun was literally a celebrity in America thanks to Walt Disney.

The Right Stuff / int_144ec68f	comment	Negated Moment of Awesome: In both real life and discussed in the film, Chuck Yeager was passed over for the space program. Despite being someone who is now considered to be one of the greatest pilots in the history of aviation, NASA was looking for college graduates (specifically, they needed degrees in Engineering or related fields), the reason being that they were expected to (and in fact did) give input during the design phase of the equipment. Grissom was extremely pivotal in the design of the Gemini spacecraft, for example. Yeager never attended college, nor West Point or Annapolis, but instead was an enlisted man recruited as a pilot, and therefore field-commissioned... after being turned down three times by promotion board because of a court-martial on his enlisted record. Could anybody imagine how utterly awesome it would've been had Chuck Yeager become an astronaut?note Hopefully he wouldn't have been one of the ones in the Apollo 1 fire, though.

The Right Stuff / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: One of the agents mentions the phrase when referring to the test pilot camp in the Californian desert. Averted at the last second towards the end... The glance from Gordo's wife, Trudy, belies the irony in this situation. The movie pays little attention to the fact that Trudy was a capable pilot herself, and could have had a more promising career than Gordo had she not been born with the "wrong" set of chromosomes.

The Right Stuff / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Although most of the film is good with the history, the first reconnaissance film shown to the White House briefing room after Sputnik suffers a bit from this. It includes footage of a Soyuz rocket, which was first launched four years after the date range of this film. It also mentions the first two cosmonauts, Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov. Russia wouldn't even select their first batch of cosmonauts until 1960, almost a full year after the Mercury Seven were chosen. Another is that Pancho Barnes' Happy Bottom Riding Club burned down in 1953, years before that portrayal in the movie timeline.

The Right Stuff / int_2cc5703c	comment	Potty Emergency: "Gordo, I have to urinate," followed by a montage of fire hoses, coffee pouring, water coolers, etc., after which Shepard declares, through painfully clenched teeth, "Request permission to relieve bladder." That wasn't even his first, either. Earlier, during the testing montage, he leaves a test with a balloon in his bladder, and needing to urinate. Three problems: If he lets go of a stopper, the balloon deflates, and he unloads his bladder where he stands. The nearest bathroom is two flights up, and the elevator is a good distance walk from the exam room, with the bathroom also a good distance walk from the elevator on its floor. And he has to be taken there by Orderly Gonzales, whom he had offended earlier with his "Jose JimÃ©nez" impersonation as noted higher up. It was actually a barium enema for examining their GI tracts. However, that doesn't make it any less an emergency.

When a reporter asks him that very question, however, he actually takes a moment to wax introspective about his fellow astronauts, those pilots who've lost their lives in aerospace research, and those who continue to push the envelope with minimal fame or recognition... but when he notices the reporters aren't really getting what he's trying to convey, he gives them what they want: a cocky response.

Elevator effectiveness regained." Nothing else is mentioned about it. However, in earlier Real Life prep flights of the X-1, Yeager had noticed that when approaching Mach 1, the plane's elevator controls would go all wonky. He and Jack Ridley worked for weeks on modifying the plane's elevator system to overcome the issue. Yeager's note that the elevator was working was a signal to Ridley that he was ready to take his shot at pushing past Mach 1.

The Right Stuff / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The Right Stuff / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: LBJ's quote as The Space Race part began. "The Romans ruled the world because they could build roads" is arguable, leaning towards false. But "the British ruled the world because they had ships" and "we won the war because we had planes" is downright absurd. However, that line was lifted nearly verbatim from LBJ's own words. No test pilot ever historically crashed with the original X-1. The Happy Bottom Riding Club, Pancho Barnes' dude ranch, burned down in 1953. Three years before Gus Grissom and Gordo Cooper arrived at Edwards AFB. Jack Ridley died in a plane crash in Japan in 1957. He would not have been around for later scenes, especially not Yeager's F-104 crash in the penultimate scene. John Glenn is shown serving as CAPCOM at mission control for Mercury-Atlas 9. He was actually aboard the Coastal Sentry Quebec tracking ship off the coast of Japan. Gus Grissom was CAPCOM at launch. Chuck Yeager did not, in fact, casually take an NF-104A for a record-breaking joyride. The crash occurred during planned testing sessions. As commandant of ARPS, he was doing a series of preliminary test flights before letting the students have at it. (And also, along the way, set a new altitude record.)

Grissom's hand didn't have a bruise. In the film, he's probably the most forgettable of the seven astronauts, and one of two whose flight isn't even shown (the other being Scott Carpenter). Deke Slayton has more screen time than Schirra as part of a trio with Grissom and Cooper, but his grounding due to heart murmurs, career managing the astronaut office and selecting crews, and eventual flight on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project are not mentioned.

Plus, the book goes into great detail about the dangers of Navy flight ops, and that only gets 30 seconds in the film. Etc. etc...

The Right Stuff / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: After Grissom's flight and the immediate aftermath, whether he was at-fault for the hatch blowing and losing the spacecraft is never addressed. note In Real Life it was unlikely that Grissom was at-fault. Kickback from the manual activation switch caused a tell-tale bruise to form on the hand activating it, and Grissom never developed the bruise. Schirra, at the end of his flight, deliberately activated his own hatch to demonstrate how the bruise formed and exonerate his comrade. The most likely explanation for Grissom's hatch blowing is that the external release lanyard came loose as it was only held in place with a single screw — a design that was changed to be more secure for subsequent flights. NASA apparently believed in Grissom's innocence as well, as he remained in a prime rotation spot for subsequent Gemini and Apollo missions. Deke Slayton also wrote in his autobiography that, had Grissom not been killed in the Apollo 1 fire, he would have selected Grissom to be the first man to walk on the moon.

There are bits of Artistic License here and there, but that's all. In the scene where the Mercury Seven are first introduced, and they're asked who will be the first of them in space, John Glenn really did raise both his hands. So did Wally Schirra. In addition to the events in MacGyvering and Out of the Inferno, Chuck Yeager also attests to what was depicted for his first Mach 2 flight. Virtually all footage seen during the montage of failed test launches - including the famous "popping cork"# During this test, the Redstone's rocket engine stopped firing at the moment of liftoff. Consequently, the Mercury capsule, sensing its... extremely low altitude, triggered the escape system parachute. - is actual footage of unmanned launches from the Mercury program.
