John Glenn goes on another journey into outer space for tests on how old age is affected there. His whole life is chronicled in this informative documentary, from his first mission above to his experience as a senator and finally, his blast into space at age 77.

Derrière l’Étoffe des héros raconte l’étonnante histoire vraie des premiers astronautes américains, les ‘Mercury 7’, et s’appuie sur des centaines d’heures d’archives officielles – émissions, films, extraits radio, interviews - et d’archives personnelles rares ou encore jamais diffusées pour catapulter les spectateurs à la fin des années 1950.
