À propos de cet audio
From "America's nerviest journalist" (Newsweek) - a breathtaking epic, a magnificent adventure story, and an investigation into the true heroism and courage of the first Americans to conquer space. "Tom Wolfe at his very best" (The New York Times Book Review)
Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America's fifth mission to the moon. Only 55 hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, Apollo 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe.

Gene Kranz was present at the creation of America's manned space program and was a key player in it for three decades. As a flight director in NASA's Mission Control, Kranz witnessed firsthand the making of history. He participated in the space program from the early days of the Mercury program to the last Apollo mission, and beyond. He endured the disastrous first years when rockets blew up and the United States seemed to fall further behind the Soviet Union in the space race.

Apollo is the behind-the-scenes story of an epic achievement. Based on exhaustive research that included many exclusive interviews, Apollo tells how America went from a standing start to a landing on the moon at a speed that now seems impossible. It describes the unprecedented engineering challenges that had to be overcome to create the mammoth Saturn V and the facilities to launch it. It takes you into the tragedy of the fire on Apollo 1, the first descent to the lunar surface, and the rescue of Apollo 13.

General Chuck Yeager was the greatest test pilot of them all - the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound...the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang...the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff. Now he tells his whole incredible life story with the same “wide-open, full throttle” approach that has marked his astonishing career.

Entertaining History
I enjoy history readings. After visiting the Kennedy Space Center I re-watched Apollo 13 with new interest. This was entertaining and historical. I like Denis Quaid as an actor but he sometimes sounded like he'd had a few drinks in this narrative. But it wasn't really a distraction fo me. Just variety in style.

Great History, Mediocre Reading
Dennis Quaid suprised me. Given his starring turn in the film of the book, I had looked forward to hearing his reading. Unfortunately, he was either mis-directed or poorly interpreted. You have to work to get past him, and that's unfortunate.
The book is a great retelling of the space race and the Cold War era, masterfully told and researched by the unparalleled Tom Wolfe. The details, thoughts, conversations, machinations, all of it - gives a broad-eyed vision of the kind of people, doing the kind of things, that led humanity to the moon.

Great retelling
This is a great retelling of the history of the space program in America, told with such clarity and detail one feels as if they were there. Dennis Quaid is the perfect narrator, given the tone of the book. Wonderful stuff cover to cover.

Dated now but meaningful regardless
Denis Quaid’s performance was criticized in some reviews. To me, it was the necessary ingredient to make this book even better. Having starred in the film, and having the right mix of accents, Quaid does a great job in bringing the characters to life.
And for that the foundation are Wolfe’s words, dripping with awe and admiration for the astronauts and their wives. The description of Yeager’s last flight and crash in the NF-104 is riveting.
An enjoyable read/listen, i’ve seen the movie many times and was glad to learn more about Conrad, Armstrong, Schirra and Slayton, who were cut out of the film.

Mercury astronauts and fighter pilot jocks
Tom Wolfe tells the evolution of fighter jocks from Air Force test pilots into NASA astronauts. It provides personal insight into the lives of the Original Mercury Seven, as well as the daring tales of Chuck Yaeger's historic supersonic flights.
Fantastic narration by Dennis Quaid, accents and all.

Great book, enjoyable narration
An intriguing story of test pilots who became astronauts in the dawn of the space race. Tom Wolfe tells their stories in his typical entertaining, vivid and thorough fashion. Dennis Quaid does a great job as narrator though sometimes the wordy passages get the better of him.

Entertaining and informative.
I liked hearing the accounts from the various characters as if it was written in the first person. It took a while for Dennis Quiad's voice as narrator grew on me. By the middle I really appreciated his take on the narrative .
