@owg59 hey, at least Randy Thom won an OSCAR for doing the Sound Design for this film
-
the movie is awesome, but the end... 3 hours of good movie, but the end... damn it, the end is just lame. what a shame.
-
@AlexDeLarge90 In the book, and briefly, the movie, they mention that Yaeger wasn't considered since he wasn't college educated. The two main requirements when they began their search for pilots were 1) Non-Civilian, 2) College Education.

Terms of Endearment, chick flick. The Right Stuff is a masterpiece!
-
@owg59 lol 6000 members of an open organization being democratic is worthless? lolol
-
@AlexDelarge90, I feel bad about that too. If anyone cannot sign a consent form, they should not be used for testing, eating, etc.

The meat industry kills billions of cows, pigs, chicken and lamb every year all over the world, and you complain when the space programs kill a dog and a few apes (chimpanzees are NOT monkeys, they are apes)?
-
Quite simply. If he really was the best (and not just the best test pilot) they would have crawled through ten miles of glass to get their hands on him. At that time nobody knew if they could beat the Soviets in space and any minor delay due to some cocky astronauts not co-operating with the engineers (many of which were German) AND the politicians founding them could potentially jeopardize the whole program.
We're not just talking pilot skill here.
-
So what are you saying?That if they had pickedYeager he wouldn't have had to go through all the really rigorous tests all the astronaut applicants had to pass in order to see if they really hadALL the desired abilities?
He might have been the best test pilot ever,butNASA wanted more than just a skilled pilot with a cocky personality.I'd say his personality alone meant he wasn't likely to ever be considered as astronaut material.Inthe spacerace they couldn't afford some know-it-all

hard to believe that "terms of endearment" won best picture over this film. one more reason why the oscars are worthless.

can't believe they portrayed Grissom as a bumbling, incompitent pilot. The hatch debate will always rumble on but it seems to be a bit of an insult to Grissoms memory.
