My lab partner was nothing like Wally Schirra Jr. I'd give good money to meet and know just one of the original seven Mercury Heros. There's only two left and I doubt I'll ever meet them.
I had my 14 year old son watch "The Right Stuff" with me last summer during a rainy day. He asked lots questions, most of which I could not answer, but he did say at the end the movie. "Dad, that's what hero's are made of huh ?" I think he get's the picture.
