I love this new version of The Right Stuff, and look forward to the next episode airing each week from National Geographic Channel. As a huge fan of the original 4 hours plus film, I was thrilled to find someone had adapted it again. It doesn't have the Chuck Yeager aspects of the original, but it delves into other people's lives, such as the wives and families of the Mercury 7 astronauts, some of the other NASA employees and historical figures. It has a Mad Men sort of flair. feel and realism of a different era as well if you were a fan of that period piece too.
