The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe
3.0
This book was well written to some extend. It had good cadence. It was funny and entertaining until it wasn’t. There was a lot of masculinity and mad-men (tv show) type of mentality going around. And some history and the astronauts feelings and the culture of military test pilots.
It was funny in a stupid way, it was so stupid I couldn’t take it seriously. But at some point touched on the subject of the first African American astronaut ... and then it wasn’t funny anymore. Tom Wolfe might was talented but certainly was either an idiot or a racist. Who knows maybe both.
