The X-15 (1959)
This documentary was produced by North American Aviation to show the early testing and development of the X-15 rocket plane including the first flight on September 17th, 1959 at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Legendary test pilot, Scott Crossfield, was at the controls for the first flight. The X-15 flew faster and higher than any craft up to that time--eventually reaching Mach 6.72 and exceeding the 100 kilometer line that demarks the edge of space. The unsung pilots of the X-15 definitely had the "right stuff", and became the country's first astronauts.
