Beyond the "But why?" and casting, my big concern is that I just watched The Hot Zone Ebola series on National Geo and it was very poorly done.
Because the story of those brave early explorers of outer space should be told and re-told for every new generation. The Right Stuff is a classic film, one of my favorites, but I'm in a small minority of milennials who have actually even heard of it, let alone seen it.
Remaking the book into an eight episode series, and launching it on Disney+, will do wonders for its viewership footprint. If it does well the showrunners have said they will expand the series all the way through Apollo.
I can get on board with that.

The fact that they're putting it on Disney+ gives me more hope. National Geo's dramatic series have been shite, but I don't think that Disney would showcase it on their shiny new streaming service if it was crap.
We should know as we get closer, seeing if they promote it heavily or just sneak it onto the service while we're not looking.
