ゴードン・クーパー役のデニス・クエイドを原作のトム・ウルフは―
Tom Wolfe : Having Dennis Quaid play Gordon Cooper was a good stroke. Cooper, as a pilot, didn't have much of a background. He was an OK military pilot. They chose him because he was so cool. He fell asleep on the launchpad. These holds would go on for hours. He also fell asleep during a spaceflight. He was an absolutely cool human being.

別のインタビューでは If you could hang out with any of the characters you've played in real life, who would you pick？ に（Really? Wow, what a dinner party that would be―）Jerry Lee Lewis（Great Balls of Fire）、Doc Holliday（Wyatt Earp）、Gordo Cooper（The Right Stuff）を挙げ―
I had a really good time playing Gordo Cooper, and I did hang out with him, actually. He was my favorite, because he was my hero when I was a kid. [CINEMABLEND Interview: Dennis Quaid]
