This movie is an adaption of the 1979 book by Tom Wolfe.  And although
they had to leave out a lot, it warn't a bad job.

The movie deals briefly with Chuck Yeager (first man to break the
sound barrier) and more heavily on the Mercury program, showing the
camraderie built up by the original seven.  The movie, like the book,
shows the astronauts as humans, but with seven main characters, it's
hard to do adequately, so a few get singled out.

Since this is a movie, it can show us an interpretation of what the
astronauts saw and felt so many years ago. If you're at all interested
in space, it's fascinating!

Kudos to the editors for snappy editing.

See it!! (warning: it's three hours and a few minutes long)
