Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The United States and the USSR were competing of who come first and set a world record of breaking the sound barrier by making an airplane that was called MACH I. Another one was when which country would bring the first man to space. Russians were ahead of America and they built space ships. So America came together to gather a team of astraunauts which were really good and smart pilots that can take the job. America was the first ones to put a monkey to space when they were testing the spacecraft. Russia finally were two weeks ahead of the U.S and they were the first ones to bring a man in space. The first man to go to space was a Russian. The Russians were the first to also put satelites in space. After this the Russians won the competition. The scenes that will help me remember the Cold War was when Russia and the U.S were competing against each other of whose the best country to break records like when the U.S broke the record of the sound barrier. A second scene that I'll remember was when they broke the sound barrier they didn't want the press to write a report on it so that the Russians won't ghet ahead of them. America weren't friends with the Russians because they were a communist country and that they've only helped the in WWII. Another scene was when the U.S wanted to be the first ones to go to space and they got seven of the best smart pilots to go to space.
