'The Right Stuff' recap: This is not a game ('Single Combat Warrior') [i]In his 1979 bestselling book "The Right Stuff," journalist Tom Wolfe wrote about the Mercury 7 astronauts as being the last of the single-combat warriors. "The men chosen for this historic mission took on the archaic mantles of the single-combat warriors of a long-since-forgotten time. They would not be going into space to do actual combat ... [but] they were risking their lives for their country, for their people, in 'the fateful testing,'" Wolfe wrote. The third episode of National Geographic's "The Right Stuff, which debuted Friday (Oct. 16) on the Disney+ premium streaming service, borrows the phrase for its title, "Single Combat Warrior."[/i]
