As the movie opened on a scene that looked and played like an episode of that miserable series "Happy Days", I knew there was trouble brewing. And when the astronauts were all portrayed as boring suburban commuter dads with no apparent intelligence above the level of your average truck driver, I could tell accuracy was not a major concern of the filmmakers. As the movie's blandness numbed me into catatonia I turned off the TV and was grateful there is a movie called "The Right Stuff".
