Summary Note What is it, I wondered, that makes a man willing to sit on top of an enormous roman candel, such as Redstone, Atlas, Titan, or saturn roicket, 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 Right Stuff. It's the quality beyond bravery, beyond courage.
