- Recruiting Shepard for the astronaut corps ("Sounds dangerous." "It's extremely dangerous." Count me in.")
- The astronauts sticking it to the program manager when he threatens Glenn's mission;
- Glenn's ticker-tape parade;
- John Glenn sticking up for his wife (who had a tremendous stutter at the time)
- Yeager walking away from the NF-104 crash ("Is that a man?" "You damn right it is!")
- "Go Hotdog GO!"
- "And for a brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen." (Roll credits)
