About This Item
New York: Bantam Books, 1980. Mass market paperback, 368 pages; one spine crease, but possibly from an overly enthusiastic store browser as book otherwise appears unread, very clean and unmarked throughout. See also our listings for Stephanie Nolen's Promised the Moon : The Untold Story of the First Women in the Space Race, and for Buzz Aldrin's Return to Earth.. First Thus. Soft Cover. Very Good +.
Synopsis
What is it, I wondered, that makes a man willing to sit on top of an enormous Roman Candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan, or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse? I decided on the simplest approach possible. I would ask a few of the astronauts and find out - The men had it. Yeager. Conrad. Grissom. Glenn. Heroes. The first Americans in space - battling the Russians for control of the heavens, putting their lives on the line. The women had it. While Mr Wonderful was aloft, it tore your heart out that the Hero's Wife, down on the ground, had to perform with the whole world watching. The Right Stuff. It's the quality beyond bravery, beyond courage.
