The paper explains that in "The Right Stuff", bravery is born of awareness as much as performance. The paper discusses the characteristics that showed the astronauts had the "Right Stuff." The paper explains the quality of fortitude, perseverance, putting on a brave face and the ability to take on the pressure of other people's perceptions.
From the Paper:
"The Right Stuff is a story of bravery. However the Rights Stuff conceptually is a definition of the type of bravery required from the individuals chosen to be astronauts. And this type of bravery in large part is due to the different levels of pressure put upon these astronauts. Pressure of expectation, performance, meeting the challenge, and idealization of their missions all contributed to a unique set of personality characteristics that showed they had the "Right Stuff." These characteristics were relatively subtle, as far as how the individuals responded to the subtle and deepened layers of pressure that were thrust upon them."
