Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The United States ans the USSR were competing in the film because they were competiting to see who came finish stuff first and do stuff the other country has never yet to do. They were in a space competition and it was a big part of the cold war. This happenend a few years after World War The USSR was the first to get a satalliete in space and a Russian was the first man in space, while the US had sent a monkey in space a few weeks before. The movie was really funny. My favorite scenes in the movie was when the test pilots were in the plane.You could see how its like being in a plane all the way up there in the sky and seeing the other planes. Another part of the movie that i liked was when the US was trying to get a rocket in space before Russia.
