Quotes:

[first lines]::Narrator: There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.

[about Yeager's bruised ribs]::Jack Ridley: How bad did you ding 'em?::Chuck Yeager: Well, you might say as I broke a couple of the sons-o'-bitches.

[repeated lines]::Chuck Yeager: Hey, Ridley, ya got any Beeman's?::Jack Ridley: Yeah, I think I got me a stick.::Chuck Yeager: Loan me some, will ya? I'll pay ya back later.::Jack Ridley: Fair enough.

Gordon Cooper: You boys know what makes this bird go up? FUNDING makes this bird go up.::Gus Grissom: He's right. No bucks, no Buck Rogers.

Chuck Yeager: Hey, Ridley, make another note here, would ya? Must be something wrong with this ol' Mach meter. Jumped plumb off the scale. Gone kinda screwy on me.::Jack Ridley: You go ahead and bust it, we'll fix it. Personally, I think you're seein' things.::Chuck Yeager: Yeah, could be. But I'm still goin' upstairs like a bat outta hell.

Chuck Yeager: I'm a fearless man, but I'm scared to death of you.::Glennis Yeager: Oh no you're not. But you oughta be.

Alan Shepard: Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up.::Gordon Cooper: I didn't quite copy that. Say again, please.::Alan Shepard: I said everything's A-OK.

Pancho Barnes: What are you two rookies gonna have?::Gordon Cooper: Rookies? Now hold on, sis. You are looking at a whole new ballgame here now. In fact, in a couple of years, I bet you're even gonna immortalize us by putting our pictures up there on your wall. [unwittingly referring to the dead pilot memorial over the bar] What? I say somethin' wrong here?::Pancho Barnes: I tell you, we got two categories of pilots around here. We got your prime pilots that get all the hot planes, and we got your pud-knockers who dream about getting the hot planes. Now what are you two pud-knockers gonna have? Huh?

Chief Scientist: I agree with those who say we could launch a pod.::Lyndon Johnson: A pot?::Chief Scientist: A POD - a, uh, capsule. Now, we would be in full control of zis pod. It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, splashing down into ze water, the ocean, vith a parachute to spare the life of the specimen inside.::Lyndon Johnson: Spaceman?::Chief Scientist: SPE-CI-MEN.::Lyndon Johnson: Well, what kind of spe-ci-men?::Chief Scientist: A tough one. Responsive to orders. I had in mind a jimp.::Lyndon Johnson: JIMP? Well what the HELL is a jimp?::Chief Scientist: A jimp. A-a-a jimpanzee, Senator. An ape.

Game Show MC: Major, Eddie here has a little problem with his girlfriend. Did you ever have a problem like that when you were 10?::John Glenn: Yes, I did, Bob. I liked a girl in my class, but all the other guys liked her too and she didn't pay any attention. But, I kept after her, Eddie.::Game Show MC: Did you finally get her to notice you?::John Glenn: Yes, I did. In fact, I finally got her to marry me.
