The Right Stuff : You can't have an adapation of The Right Stuff if you don't include Chuck Yeager

You can't have an adapation of The Right Stuff if you don't include Chuck Yeager

There is no reason to title this The Right Stuff. The book and movie focused heavily on Chuck Yeager and test pilots and their courage, skills, confidence and luck which makes up "the right stuff". This show is just a second-rate retelling of Project Mercury that happened to use The Right Stuff among other books as references. With an entire series you would expect them to be able to flesh out the book better than the movie, and surely it covers the actual Project Mercury training and missions more thoroughly, but it manages to lose the entire theme of the book. Without that the title is an empty signifier.
