After another pilot, <a href="/wiki/Slick_Goodlin" class="mw-redirect" title="Slick Goodlin">Slick Goodlin</a>, demands $150,000 (equivalent to $2,047,000 in 2023) to attempt to break the <a href="/wiki/Sound_barrier" title="Sound barrier">sound barrier</a>, war hero Captain <a href="/wiki/Chuck_Yeager" title="Chuck Yeager">Chuck Yeager</a> receives the chance to fly the X-1. Yeager becomes the first person to fly at <a href="/wiki/Supersonic" class="mw-redirect" title="Supersonic">supersonic</a> speed, defeating the "demon in the sky". </p><p>Six years later, Muroc, now <a href="/wiki/Edwards_Air_Force_Base" title="Edwards Air Force Base">Edwards Air Force Base</a>, still attracts the best test pilots. Yeager (now a major) and friendly rival <a href="/wiki/Albert_Scott_Crossfield" title="Albert Scott Crossfield">Scott Crossfield</a> repeatedly break one another's speed records. They often visit the <a href="/wiki/Happy_Bottom_Riding_Club" title="Happy Bottom Riding Club">Happy Bottom Riding Club</a> run by <a href="/wiki/Pancho_Barnes" title="Pancho Barnes">Pancho Barnes</a>, who classifies the pilots at Edwards as either "prime" (such as Yeager and Crossfield) that fly the best equipment or newer "pudknockers" who only dream about it. <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Cooper" title="Gordon Cooper">Gordon "Gordo" Cooper</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gus_Grissom" title="Gus Grissom">Virgil "Gus" Grissom</a> and <a href="/wiki/Deke_Slayton" title="Deke Slayton">Donald "Deke" Slayton</a>, captains of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a>, are among the "pudknockers" who hope to also prove that they have "the Right Stuff". The tests are no longer secret, as the military soon recognizes that it needs good publicity for funding. Cooper's wife, Trudy, and other wives are afraid of becoming widows, but cannot change their husbands' ambitions and desire for success and fame. </p><p>In 1957, the launch of the Soviet <a href="/wiki/Sputnik" class="mw-redirect" title="Sputnik">Sputnik</a> satellite <a href="/wiki/Sputnik_crisis" title="Sputnik crisis">alarms the United States government</a>. Politicians such as Senator <a href="/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson" title="Lyndon B. Johnson">Lyndon B.

The search for the first Americans in space excludes Yeager because he lacks a college degree. Grueling physical and mental tests select the <a href="/wiki/Mercury_Seven" title="Mercury Seven">Mercury Seven</a> astronauts, including <a href="/wiki/John_Glenn" title="John Glenn">John Glenn</a> of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">United States Marine Corps</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alan_Shepard" title="Alan Shepard">Alan Shepard</a>, <a href="/wiki/Walter_Schirra" class="mw-redirect" title="Walter Schirra">Walter Schirra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scott_Carpenter" title="Scott Carpenter">Scott Carpenter</a> of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a>, as well as Cooper, Grissom and Slayton; they immediately become national heroes. Although many early NASA rockets explode during launch, the ambitious astronauts all hope to be the first in space as part of <a href="/wiki/Project_Mercury" title="Project Mercury">Project Mercury</a>. Although engineers see the men as passengers, the pilots insist that the Mercury spacecraft have a window, a hatch with explosive bolts, and <a href="/wiki/Pitch-yaw-roll" class="mw-redirect" title="Pitch-yaw-roll">pitch-yaw-roll</a> controls. However, the Soviet Union beats them into space on April 12, 1961, with the launch of <a href="/wiki/Vostok_1" title="Vostok 1">Vostok 1</a> carrying <a href="/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin" title="Yuri Gagarin">Yuri Gagarin</a>. The seven astronauts are determined to match and surpass the Soviets. </p><p>Shepard is the first American to reach space on the 15-minute sub-orbital flight of <a href="/wiki/Mercury-Redstone_3" title="Mercury-Redstone 3">Mercury-Redstone 3</a> on May 5. After Grissom's similar flight of <a href="/wiki/Mercury-Redstone_4" title="Mercury-Redstone 4">Mercury-Redstone 4</a> on July 21, the capsule's hatch blows open and quickly fills with water. Grissom escapes, but the spacecraft, overweight with seawater, sinks. Many criticize Grissom for possibly panicking and opening the hatch prematurely.
