Let's get this out of the way early. I have never seen (or at least I don't remember seeing) The Right Stuff, the movie, nor have I read the book.
So don't expect comparisons. From what I understand, the film (and the book on which it is based) is perfection. That's hard to match let alone conquer.
From my end, that's good because I can judge this The Right Stuff based solely on its merits.
Despite not seeing one of the greatest space films of all time, the space race is a subject that I find fascinating, and The Right Stuff Season 1 Episode 1 kicked that into high gear with the excitement surrounding the beginning of the space program in the US.
Growing up in a time when the early, lingering effects of the newly appointed astronauts were living a rock star's existence, many of those on the Mercury Seven were household names.

One way to beat this year's winter chill is to watch Universal Television's, sun-drenched, "Miami Vice" TV series Complete Collection on DVD, not just for the numerous "Scarface" plot situations involving armed drug cartels, high rollers/exotic women, Jan Hammer's synth background themes, re-mastered 1980's era, classic rock music/stylized visuals, but to spot all the famous actors that got their start on the show.
Recognized as one of the most influential TV series of all time, for its Armani fashions, Dornaus & Dixon stainless steel handguns, 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 Gts/4 wheels and 39 foot Chris Craft Stinger 390/Scarab 38 Kv boats, "Miami Vice" also introduced audiences to actor Don Johnson ("A Boy And His Dog") as 'Detective James "Sonny" Crockett', Philip Michael Thomas as 'Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs' and the brooding Edward James Olmos as 'Lieutenant Martin Castillo'.

Boats are a great excuse for fun in comedies and it’s no different in Sandra Bullock/ Ryan Reynolds starrer The Proposal out tomorrow. Threatened with deportation back to her native Canada, pushy boss Margaret Tate (Bullock) pretends to be engaged to her assistant Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), a ruse that sees the pair embark on a trip to visit his family in Alaska. Cue plenty of comedy hijinks as the mismatched duo begrudgingly gets to know one another, enter stage right the boat, namely the Chris-Craft Lancer 20. You’ll never guess what happens!
The original Chris Craft boating company began back in the late 1800s, founded by Christopher Columbus Smith producing high quality mahogany hulled powerboats. Like all businesses, the company suffered during America’s Great Depression and during World War II branched out into patrol boats for the Us Navy, however its brightest and most profitable era was still...
