On April 9, 1959, NASA named its first seven astronauts. The Mercury Seven or the “Original Seven” as they were called, were: Navy aviators M. Scott Carpenter, Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Alan B. Shepard Jr.; three Air Force pilots, L. Gordon Cooper Jr., Virgil I. Grissom and Donald K. “Deke” Slayton; and Marine Corps pilot John H. Glenn Jr.
The early days of Project Mercury, when Shepard, Glenn, Slayton, Grissom, Schirra, Cooper and Carpenter were legends in the making.
In 1979, Tom Wolfe published The Right Stuff, a thrilling and personal account of the Mercury Seven – the Project Mercury Astronauts; the first seven Americans chosen to go into space. There are libraries of more detailed books on the subject, but none capture the spirit of the program and the times better than Wolfe’s masterpiece.
The Right Stuff Disney+ TV series is compared to the true story of the Mercury Seven astronauts and their wives. Meet the real John Glenn, Alan Shepard, Annie Glenn and others.
