Bien des ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s avoir vu et revu un nombre incalculable de fois The Right Stuff<\/a>, le film de Philip Kauffman, quelques semaines apr\u00e8s avoir regard\u00e9 les \u00e9pisodes de la premi\u00e8re saison de la s\u00e9rie National Geographic (assez d\u00e9cevante), je me suis enfin lanc\u00e9 dans le livre de Tom Wolfe, L\u2019Etoffe des h\u00e9ros. Il \u00e9tait temps me direz-vous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Etoffe des h\u00e9ros raconte de mani\u00e8re journalistique et historique, les d\u00e9buts de la conqu\u00eate spatiale am\u00e9ricaine, des X-1 jusqu\u2019au programme Mercury alors que les Russes, en pleine Guerre Froide, battaient \u00e0 plat de couture l\u2019Oncle Sam en satellisant Spoutnik puis Youri Gagarine autour de la Terre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais ce que raconte surtout le roman de Tom Wolfe, c\u2019est l’h\u00e9ro\u00efsme des pilotes d\u2019essais am\u00e9ricains, repoussant sans cesse les limites du possible sur des engins dangereux, cherchant la premi\u00e8re place, le plus rapide, le plus haut, le plus brave. Le roman raconte l\u2019\u00e9toffe dont \u00e9tait faite ces pionniers du vol spatial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le livre est \u00e9galement une galerie de portraits hauts en couleurs, commen\u00e7ant et terminant par Yeager, le pilote qui franchit le mur du son, Shepard, le premier am\u00e9ricain en vol suborbital, Glenn le premier astronaute \u00e0 tourner autour de le Terre, Grimson qui \u00ab d\u00e9conna \u00bb ou Slayton qui resta clou\u00e9 au sol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le style de Tom Wolfe est laborieux au d\u00e9but du roman, abusant de r\u00e9p\u00e9titions et d\u2019un vocabulaire peu soign\u00e9. J’ai pein\u00e9 sur les premi\u00e8res pages, sortant d\u2019un livre nettement mieux \u00e9crit. Pour compliquer les choses l\u2019\u00e9dition Folio pr\u00e9sente quelques coquilles comme les orbites lunaires de Scott alors qu\u2019il tourne autour de la terre et ces nombreux mots coup\u00e9s d\u2019un trait d\u2019union en milieu de ligne. Mais l\u00e0 je pense que l\u2019auteur n\u2019y est pour rien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est int\u00e9ressant de regarder apr\u00e8s coup les divergences entre le roman, le film et la s\u00e9rie, les petits arrangements de chacun avec l\u2019histoire pour la rendre plus cr\u00e9dible aux yeux du public. Le caract\u00e8re et les rivalit\u00e9s des pilotes ainsi que leurs \u00e9pouses divergent beaucoup d\u2019une version \u00e0 l\u2019autre. Je n\u2019ai pas \u00e9t\u00e9 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 creuser plus loin pour conna\u00eetre la version la plus probable, mais chacune d\u2019entre elles souligne bien les tensions qui exist\u00e8rent lors du programme Mercury et la mani\u00e8re dont furent per\u00e7u par les pilotes d\u2019essais, ces singes volant, une perception qui \u00e9volua au fil du temps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le roman met en valeur une autre course \u00e0 l\u2019espace, am\u00e9ricaine celle-ci, celle qui s\u2019est jou\u00e9e entre la solution militaire pilot\u00e9e, le X-15 et le X-20 et la solution civile NASA, le programme Mercury, impos\u00e9 dans la pr\u00e9cipitation en r\u00e9action aux succ\u00e8s russes, o\u00f9 l\u2019astronaute n\u2019est qu\u2019un singe, allong\u00e9 dans une capsule, sur des tonnes de carburant hautement explosif, n\u2019ayant d\u2019autre fonction que de servir de cobaye humain dans cette course aux \u00e9toiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un excellent roman pour tous les passionn\u00e9s de l\u2019espace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
