This is the dialogue, between Gus and his wife, that addresses the controversy surrounding the incident, during an argument between the two in &#x27;The Right Stuff&#x27;:<p>Mrs. Grissom: Look, I am finally Mrs. Honorable Astronaut. But they are treating me like I&#x27;m... Honorable Mrs. Squirming Hatch Blower.<p>Gus: I didn&#x27;t do anything wrong! The hatch just blew! It was a glitch! It was a technical malfunction! Why in hell won&#x27;t anyone believe me?<p>The film acknowledges the controversy, and that Gus maintained his innocence, without drawing any conclusions.
