My favorite movie ever is The Right Stuff. I watch it no less than 4-5 times a year. The selection process for astronauts was an interesting aspect that always drew my attention. Building those characteristic qualities through the Mercury, Gemini and, Apollo programs set the tone for the complex job our astronauts still face today. Simply put…they need The Right Stuff.
I remember seeing it once a long time ago. It might be good to watch it again. Thank you for that, Tom!
I'm curious about how much the astronaut selection process has evolved over time. Perhaps, with the increased need for scientific research on the ISS, the requirements are even broader now.
